Now that nearly half of all Americans are the proud owners of a smartphone, and nearly 30% own a tablet or an e-reader (Pew Research Center), data and information consumption is increasingly taking place on the go. This mobile explosion is not only driving innovation and cooperation in the wireless industry, and a greater proliferation of Wi-Fi in consumer venues to meet demand, but is also creating new challenges and opportunities for brands trying to reach mobile consumers.
On June 25, through Boingo's location-based media services, Google Offers became the first brand to reach one of the most connected, mobile commerce savvy, always on-the-go audiences in the U.S. – New Yorkers – in a location where they were previously disconnected: subway stations. Google Offers will be sponsoring Boingo Wi-Fi in six subway stations and more than 200 hotzones throughout the city through September 7, and as part of the sponsorship will be offering New Yorkers the chance to check out location-specific offers near them, as well as a reliable Wi-Fi connection to keep them in the know on the go.
This sponsorship and new locale for brand engagement captured the attention of ad and marketing press, with Mobile Commerce Daily noting that it's "great to see Google Offers sponsoring free Wi-Fi…because this shows that the company gets how important it is for consumers to…access the mobile web while on the go in order to drive the use of local offers." The publication further noted that Boingo's expanding subway Wi-Fi services will "create a unique mobile advertising and sponsorship network enabling advertisers to deliver specific, location-based messages," while Ad Week reported that "subway riders in particular are a valuable demo for advertisers to target," reaching highly connected and high-income audiences.
With the explosion of mobile connectivity, and the increase in Wi-Fi availability at consumer venues, today's advertisers have new opportunities to leverage value-added, location-based media services to capture and keep the attention of smartphone crowd.

In this week's Hoplinks, Chicago sees yet another (sorta) new brewery open. We also touch on the political correctness (or lack thereof) in today's beer scene, as well as craft trends across the world. Cheers.
In this week's Hoplinks, one of Chicago's original beer bars counts down its final days, a San Diego behemoth opens up shop in the West Loop, a local brewery wants out, barrels roll out north of the boarder, and 2017 production numbers.
In this week's Hoplinks, Ultra Fresh is back for Illinois Craft Beer Week, a royal decree at The Masters, Goose Island looks to rebound in 2018, a west coast pioneer forecloses, and a lot of beer and jerky goes missing in Montreal.
In this week's Hoplinks, a local brewery owner gets elected, our Brewery Bracket nears the final round, the South Side ballpark ups its already impressive craft offerings, craft 24-packs hit shelves in the Midwest and Dark Lord Day approaches.
In this week's Hoplinks, Two Brothers pops-up, a culinary brewery gets even more creative, a much-hyped brewery hits Chicago, other breweries change hands, an Indiana staple's big plans are revealed, and we nominate our 10 Best in beer.
In this week's Hoplinks, the north side's Malt Row gets another look, a local brewery concocts a very special beer, a legacy brewery is set to be sold to the highest bidder, barleywines are ranked, and a photographer dives into the seedier side of the London pub scene.

This tutorial is meant to demonstrate one of many different ways that text within a form maybe saved into a text file in a drive. The form will have a button and the text will be directly entered on the form.
Firstly, you will need a Button called cmdSave and the caption Save. Then we basically start coding.
We first place in Option Explicit. This means it forces explicit declaration of all variables in a file.
Option Explicit
Now everything revolves around the Save button. We first declare all the variables: list, datafile and item.
Private Sub cmdSave_Click() Dim list(5) As String * 10 Dim datafile As String Dim item As Integer
Continuing on, we then list the text that we want to list in the form. We use "Print" to place in text within the form.
Cls: Print Print "Text File Maker" 'the list of items list(1) = "A" list(2) = "B" list(3) = "C" list(4) = "D" list(5) = "E"
Still under the Save button, we now tell the program to list the items in order ie. 1 to 5
Print "List in alphabetical order" For item = 1 To 5 Print list(item) Next item
This now prints the text in the form into a Text file. You may change the drive name and the text file name. The second part prints the text in order in the file.
Print datafile = "D:\File.txt" 'open the file to receive data Open datafile For Output As 1 For item = 1 To 5 Print #1, list(item) Next item Close #1
So there we have it. A program which saves text on a form into a text file or similar.
Thank you.

My girl Gwen is Gwentastic!. She rocked an awesome show along with Momentum magazine and many, many awesome designer and bike apparel/accessories/bikes and all fun bikey things.
Momentum Magazine and Gwendolyn Lee productions presented the:
Bike Fashion Show | Bike Expo, Cow Palace Saturday Nov 21st, 2009.
Bike Fashion Show | Bike Expo, Cow Palace Saturday Nov 21st, 2009.
Thought I'd share some pics from behind the scenes - so here we go.
We had some pretty rad hairdressers that made our hair smell like yummy stuff from the bumble and bumble product line. There was also a makeup crew and it was pretty fun to see everyone getting dolled up.
SyCip, which I was pretty excited about. Would like to check this bike out in street environment. It was equipped with an ortlieb pannier and an über cute handlebar bag/purse by pocampo for one of the outfit sets, I'm a huge fan.
♥It was a great event, and I was so happy that many of my peeps made it. Thanks Momentum, Gwen and everybody that made this event happen!!

Gwen's Fashion Show by dustinj
Everyone rocked some great clothes. A main factor was that all the clothes were so comfortable, and fun to wear. I can't recall all of the brands that were represented, but if you are into reading about and/or checking out many indie bike brands and many local ones, you may have heard of them.

A recent report by Campaign for Clean Air in London (CAL) highlighted the lack of understanding among senior managers and others that few buildings comply with indoor air quality standard EN: 13779. Buildings may have mechanical ventilation, air conditioning and/or air filtration or none of these and few buildings comply with indoor air quality standard EN:13779.
In London for example many Local Authorities do not know if their buildings comply and many Local Authorities do not know about compliance in their schools and that significant opportunity exists to improve indoor air quality and reduce energy costs.
So what can I do?
Ask Camfil Farr for an 'Opportunity Assessment' this will help you:
- Understand the system condition of your Air Handling Unit (AHU)
- Request a report at no cost that proposes an itemised solution
- Choose the best solution using low energy air filters
- Give your existing AHU plant a new and efficient lease of life
- Reduce running costs and get peace of mind
Follow this simple checklist:
- Use easy access mountings and ensure seals are effective
- Use low energy glass fibre bag filters, with high surface area, rather than synthetic or ultraviolet type filters to extend life and reduce energy cost
- Use carbon filters to reduce gaseous pollutants
- Consider upgrading fans as current ones may be energy inefficient
- Clean cooling coils and heat exchangers
- Clean air handling units and duct systems
- Use pressure gauges to monitor on-going filter efficiency
- Regularly maintain the system and establish operating practices
Finally you should ask Camfil Farr to certify your building as complying with EN 13779.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Khaled Saffuri. [Source: Paul Sperry]Grover Norquist, one of the most politically-connected Republican lobbyists, founds a group to build Republican support among Muslim Americans. Norquist cofounds the Islamic Institute, sometimes called the Islamic Free Market Institute, with Khaled Saffuri. Saffuri is executive director and Norquist is chairman of the board. The institute operates out of the headquarters of Americans for Tax Reform, Norquist's main lobbying group. [New Republic, 11/1/2001] The start-up money largely comes from Middle Eastern sources. Saffuri's former boss at the American Muslim Council, Abdurahman Alamoudi, gives at least $35,000. Alamoudi has been suspected of ties to bin Laden and other Islamic radicals (see Shortly After March 1994) since at least 1994 and will later be sentenced to 23 years in prison (see October 15, 2004). The Safa Trust donates at least $35,000, and the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) contributes $11,000. Both organizations are part of the SAAR group and are among the organizations raided in early 2002 (see March 20, 2002). [St. Petersburg Times, 3/11/2003] Norquist is very close to future President Bush. The Washington Post will later comment that "even before President Bush's election, [Norquist] positioned himself as a gatekeeper for supplicants seeking access to Bush's inner circle." [Washington Post, 7/9/2006] The St. Petersburg Times will later note that after the founding of the Islamic Institute, "then-candidate Bush began popping up in photographs with various politically connected Muslims (see March 12, 2000). The only problem was, many of these same prominent Muslims were also under scrutiny by federal investigators for links to terrorism." [St. Petersburg Times, 3/11/2003] The Islamic Institute becomes a key power center for Muslim activists currying favor with Bush and other Republicans, and these alliances lead to more Muslim American votes for Bush. Norquist will later claim, "George W. Bush was elected President of the United States of America because of the Muslim vote." [New Republic, 11/1/2001] After Bush is elected president, Saffuri regularly appears at the White House with imams and heads of Islamic organizations to lobby for policy changes. Suhail Khan, who was a director of the Islamic Institute, is the point person arranging the Muslim groups' access to Bush. Khan's late father was imam at a mosque in Santa Clara, California, which once hosted a visit by Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's number two leader. Norquist apparently boasted that he got Khan his White House post. [New Republic, 11/1/2001; St. Petersburg Times, 3/11/2003] It will later be alleged that Norquist's ties to people openly sympathetic to Islamist militant groups stifled investigations before 9/11 (see March 20, 2002). Shortly after 9/11, one recently retired intelligence official will claim that a number of counterterrorism agents at the FBI and CIA are "pissed as hell about the situation and pissed as hell about Grover [Norquist]." [New Republic, 11/1/2001]

6. Return Policy
7. Exchange Policy
We use UPS (United Parcel Service) to ship our products.
Your shipping & handling fees will be calculated based on the weight, insured value of the shipment, and your zip code. This S&H cost is available online only for the USA, Puerto Rico and most locations of Canada. The fees are shown BEFORE you enter any personal information . For other U.S. territories and foreign destinations (United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, South Korea, France, Switzerland, Sweden, and Belgium) real-time shipping calculation is not available and will show "$0.00" when ordering. Please chat, email, or call us at 1.847.749.4522 for shipping costs to your location. For your convenience we have included several shipping fee examples:
AS OF 4/2015: Sample Shipping & Handling Fees for item: Qty 200 of the Panel Mount Easel Black 4x6.
*PLEASE NOTE: Due to fuel surcharges, shipping costs will adjust slightly from day-to-day. Please use this as a base estimate for the shipping costs.
Ground Shipping Charges For Packages Less Than 1 Pound
For packages less than 1 pound UPS charges a minimum charge regardless of location.
For example: One unit of the Buckeye Folder frame shipping to Indianapolis will cost $11.95 (as of 1/2015)
Ground is the standard method of shipping if you are not in a hurry. Delivery ranges from 1-5 business days depending on your proximity (UPS does not deliver on weekends) and has no guaranteed delivery time.
NOTE: THIS MAP IS FOR UPS GROUND SERVICE FROM ILLINOIS AND SHOULD BE USED TO ESTIMATE THE DELIVERY DAYS AFTER THE SHIPMENT LEAVES OUR DOOR. WHEN IT IS SHIPPED DEPENDS ON WHEN THE ORDER WAS ACTUALLY PLACED, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL PERSONALIZATION SERVICES. WE SUGGEST ADDING AN ADDITIONAL DAY FOR GROUND IN CALCULATING YOUR DELIVERY DAYS. THIS SHOWS BUSINESS DAYS (not including weekends and holidays).
3 Day Select is the preferred method for those who want it a little bit quicker and whose Standard Ground shipping is in the 4-5 business days range. This method has a guaranteed delivery in 3 full business days (not including the day it was shipped out) and has no guaranteed delivery time for the day the package arrives.
2nd Day Air is ideal for packages that do not need overnight shipment but still are in a time-crunch.This method has a guaranteed delivery in 2 business days (not including weekends) and has no guaranteed delivery time for the day the package arrives.
Next Day Air Saver is a perfect option for any customer wanting to receive the package in 1 day but trying to keep it as affordable as possible. This option is guaranteed by the next business day, but delivery time is not guaranteed, and can be delivered up to the end of the day.
Next Day Air is ideal for shipments that must arrive earlier in the business day with a guaranteed time. This shipping method is guaranteed by the next business day (not including weekends) by 12 P.M.
Next Day Air Early AM is an option available for customers who want the next day delivery service earlier than the Next Day Air option. With Early AM the package is guaranteed by 9 AM the following day (not including weekends).
Next Day Air Saturday is available upon request (not as an option on our website). Please call or email us to discuss this option.
Special Notes
All of your shipments are tracked and insured. We will send you tracking information via email within 1 business day of shipment. Please do not use a P.O. Box for the ship-to address. It must be a physical street address.
Shipment Processing
If you order by 3:00 P.M. Central time, your product would be shipped same-day 90% of the time. Exceptions include orders that have imprinting on the frames (can take another 3-4 business days before shipping). If we have stock issues, we will notify you as soon as possible so that we can resolve it quickly. Orders made after 3:00 P.M. would be shipped the following business day (although we may be able to occasionally squeeze late orders out the door the same day).
Shipping Outside of the US
We currently ship to the 50 US states, U.S. territories, and Canada. We have recently added United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, South Korea, France, Switzerland, Sweden, and Belgium to the list of foreign countries to which we ship. Please chat, email, or call us at 1.847.749.4522 for shipping quotes to your location. If you are in Canada please note that you MAY be charged import duties by your own country. We have no involvement in this. Please check with your local UPS Service center to get better estimates on what types of import charges (including local broker fees) you might incur upon delivery. Any standard shipping to Canada will incur duty/brokerage fee's up to 60% of your purchase, with expedited shipping methods the brokerage fees are included. If you contact us we may be able to get an estimated broker fee, but what UPS will charge upon delivery may be different from the estimated cost. You can also email us () to get a quote before making an order as well.
Other possible charges include local GST and Provincial taxes depending on where you live. All of these possible fees are calculated after your package leaves our door. Please understand that while we will try our best to estimate costs for you, any taxes, fees, or charges are your responsibility. Please see the UPS Canada Customs Clearance Page for possible charges.
APO/FPO Shipping Via Postal Service
We don't normally ship via USPS (United States Postal Service). However, to support our military, we will ship to any APO/FPO address at cost (e.g. $5.15 Insured Priority Mail will cost you $5.15 with no additional service charges for our military). People with APO addresses should call or email us () for a shipping quote. WE STILL MUST HEAR BACK FROM YOU VIA EMAIL TO APPROVE ALL SHIPPING CHARGES IN ORDER FOR US TO SHIP TO APO/FPO ADDRESSES.
PromoFrames Return Policy
We understand that from time-to-time, customers will need to return product for various reasons. If the product is in saleable condition (frames only), you can return it within 14 days of receipt of shipment through our Returned Materials process. If you choose to return the product, you are responsible for shipment costs back to us. We suggest that you obtain a tracking number and insurance for the package so that it is covered if there is an unforeseen incident. We also charge a 20% restocking fee to place product back into our distribution warehouse system. Once we receive/inspect the frames and deduct the 20% restocking fee, the remaining amount will be credited back to you. Please allow 4-5 business days for the credit to appear on your statement. Please note that shipping costs are non-refundable.
PromoFrames Exchange Policy
Ordering online is never an exact science. Even though we try to provide you with as much information about a product as we can, we understand that sometimes when you receive a product it isn't exactly what you were looking for. As in our return policy, you are responsible for covering the costs of shipping the frames being exchanged back to us. However, at that point, we can go ahead and credit the amount of your initial order for your frames (not including shipping costs) to your exchange order.

Soon after Nazi Germany's defeat in 1945, there was talk in Munich about building an education centre that would document the city's critical role in Adolf Hitler's climb to power.
Berlin and some other cities built similar facilities over the years. But the idea languished in Munich, the city Hitler himself called the "Capital of the (Nazi) Movement."
Munich officials decided in 2001 to go ahead with it, and Bavaria's parliament signed on as well. Discussions were marred by disagreements over concepts for exhibits, financing, and even what to call it. But it's finally under construction and scheduled to open on April 30, 2015, the 70th anniversary of American troops' liberation of this city from Nazi rule.
In English, it will be called the Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism.
The cube-shaped structure is being erected on a site laden with dark symbolism: an empty lot where the Brown House, the Nazis' headquarters, once stood. The area surrounding the Brown House was a Nazi showcase.
Buildings in the area housed the party bureaucracy. The vast square located there – called the Koenigsplatz – was turned into a site for mass rallies. The area during Hitler's rule was crawling with Nazi bureaucrats, storm troopers and SS men.
The new building will stand in stark contrast to architectural designs favoured by Hitler. It will be modernist in style – a white cube rising from the former site of Nazi power. By going from floor to floor, visitors will be able to examine each step along Munich's role in Hitler's rise to power. The permanent exhibit will also examine Germans' difficulties in dealing with the Nazi past since 1945.
Included in the plans are research stations, a library, lectures, panel discussions, conferences, and tours.
City officials expect more than 140,000 visitors a year. Exhibits will be in German and English.

Suite Control specialises in Electrical, Security, Entertainment and Smart Systems. Together with our in-house electrical service company, Hall & Hedderman, Suite Control has delivered hundreds of projects to private clients, government agencies and businesses, both large and small.
The company was incorporated as Suite Control in early 2009, as a result of the successful merger of two of Sydney's leading electronics integrators, Hall & Hedderman and The Sound Concept Group.
The two original companies had been founded in the 1990s and each of them had already been successful in their own right. With a long list of satisfied clients and a wealth of shared experience across a wide range of projects, the merger allowed the newly formed company to reach new markets. Since the merger, Suite Control has grown into one of Australia's largest home integration firms.
Suite Control brought together the best of both companies, offering a depth of expertise and, with over thirty talented people on staff, gave the company the scale to grow, servicing clients ranging from simple one room residential media systems to the full automation of hotel rooms at Star Casino in Sydney's Darling Harbour. We now have a list of prominent private clients across Sydney and as far afield as Singapore, Macau and Hong Kong.

Brevoort Reveals More MARVEL NOW! Details, AVENGERS Plans
Tom Brevoort has been at Marvel Comics for more than two decades, and has seen a whole lot of change in that time. So there might not be anyone within the company more qualified to speak of the scope and scale of their latest initiative — "Marvel NOW!" — which Brevoort calls a "big shift for pretty much the entirety of the Marvel publishing line."
In a conversation with Newsarama, Brevoort discussed the reasons behind the revamp, along with providing much more detail about the first three announced series, Uncanny Avengers, All-New X-Men and a relaunched Avengers.
Specifically, Brevoort clarified that New Avengers — announced Thursday as relaunching in January 2013 from the creative team of Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting — will continue, along with Secret Avengers and Avengers Assemble, those creative teams for those books have yet to be announced. Avengers, as noted, will launch with art from Jerome Opeña, before transitioning to Adam Kubert, then Dustin Weaver, then Mike Deodato.
Our full conversation with Brevoort, Marvel's senior vice president of publishing, follows.
Newsarama: Tom, as someone who has been at Marvel for more than 20 years at this point, how do you compare the scale of "Marvel NOW!" to other big changes during your tenure at the company?
Tom Brevoort: Certainly, it's a big change. Have there been bigger changes? There certainly have been similar changes, and different things over the years where big chunks of the Marvel Universe have shifted around all at once. I don't know if I could legitimately say, "There's been no bigger change." That just seems like empty hype to me.
That said, this is substantially a pretty big shift for pretty much the entirety of the Marvel publishing line. It's going to look and feel and read and be different once we get to that point in the post-AvX world than it was before, and hopefully that will be interesting and exciting to people, the same way it's interesting and exciting to us.
Nrama: Just in terms of the number of new or relaunched series, it has to be among the biggest at Marvel within one initiative — it's something like 15 to 20 books?
Brevoort: I don't have a concrete number. Even now it's tending to shift a little bit. We just did a retreat, and one or two things changed slightly there. I'm guessing more than 20 — more than 20 titles changing and shifting around, and going through some manner of alteration and rebirth and renewal. It's a pretty significant thing.
Nrama: This is something we talked about a lot last year with Fear Itself, and is relevant once again. Has it been tricky to promote what comes after Avengers vs. X-Men, especially something as large as this, without spoiling the actual ending of the story?
Brevoort: Somewhat. The difference here is that, more than anything, what we have to hang our hat on is the fact that we've got creators in significant and new places. Even if we don't tell you a heck of a lot about what's going on in X-Men, and that's not to say we're not going to, just saying, "Brian Bendis is now going to be writing X-Men," that's a massive thing for people. And saying Jonathan Hickman is going to be writing Avengers — nobody else has written the main Avengers book other than Brian for the last eight or nine years. Saying Rick Remender is going to be doing Uncanny Avengers — even if we don't say anything much more than that, we have plenty of things to talk about. So the actual story beats and things at the end of AvX, we kind of have the ability to jockey around some things that we don't want to talk about, because there are other things we can speak of in almost every case.
Nrama: With major change coming to Marvel after AvX, it begs the question, is the change to the Marvel Universe itself more like one after, say, Secret Invasion, when Norman Osborn was in charge of national security and much of the books reflected that under the "Dark Reign" banner, or one like post-House of M with "no more mutants"?
Brevoort: I'll say this: There's no reboot, there's no reworking of time. We're not doing anything like that. Certainly at the end of AvX, things will have changed for a bunch of the characters, having gone through this big, massive story that we're telling. Some of the landscape of the Marvel Universe will be different. It won't be different in exactly the same way it was after Secret Invasion, or the same way it was at the end of House of M.
It's not just where the characters themselves will be, it's the people that are in the driver's seat, especially in the case of things like Avengers, who have been in one set of creative hands for so long. There are now long-time fans, people who have been reading comics for seven or eight years, who have never read Avengers except under Brian. This is a huge change, not that Jonathan Hickman is any better or worse than Brian, but what he does is different. Many of our creators are in different places, so suddenly you have a different outlook on the X-Men, a different outlook on the Avengers, and a different approach to the stories that are being told there. Hopefully, that's just interesting and exciting. I want to see what Brian and Stuart do to, and with, and about, the X-Men. I know that he's going to bring as energizing and radical and probably divisive an approach to taking on X-Men as he did eight years ago to Avengers, and that was terrifying to some —including myself at points — and it was also incredibly energizing, and Avengers benefitted phenomenally from that. The hope is that people will just be excited and interesting to see these guys doing stuff.
Uncanny Avengers is effectively the bridge book. It's the first book off the boat. But it's also the bridge book between the world of Avengers and X-Men and a very new sort of relationship that we have going forward in the Marvel U, post-AvX. And that hopefully is interesting to people — getting to see some characters and some relationships and some things that we really haven't seen, or haven't seen in a million years. It's less about, now Thor is three-legged and Iron Man can't fly, or whatever particular thing there happens to be. It's not like there's none of that, but really, to me, the more interesting and exciting part is, it's a creative renewal.
Nrama: So with so many long-running runs at Marvel ending, will there be a few that remain intact?
Brevoort: It's not an absolute thing. There are a couple of books that are in the hands of guys that have had them for a significant amount of time who will still have them. Those choices were made on a case-by-case basis, and a creator-by-creator basis. None of this was forced on anybody, and it was all predicated by a couple of guys getting to the point where they felt like it was time for a change.
Brian had been starting to feel like it was getting time to wrap up Avengers before he overstayed his welcome. He's very conscious of wanting to go out on top and leave the stage before people want to take the hook out and pull him off the stage. The fact that he was at least starting to think that way got us thinking, "What would be exciting for Brian to do?" Going to him and saying, "Would you be interested in doing X-Men?" and starting to have that conversation, was a cool thing. The flipside of that is, if Brian is coming off of Avengers, then we've got to spend some time thinking about, "Who is going to do Avengers? Who can be that guy?" Once you land on that, it's like dominos — if Jon's going to do Avengers, well, he's not going to do Fantastic Four. Who's going to do Fantastic Four? It wasn't like an absolute, "Everybody must give up the thing that they're doing." The idea here is to make the books better, not just to make them different. So we didn't really want creative change for the sake of creative change.
Nrama: It sounds like things might have started out organically to a degree, with a few creators all winding down their long-term stories at around the same time.
Brevoort: There was a decent critical mass. And once we started talking to the group of creators in aggregate, as tends to be the case, at first everyone's sort of shocked, and panicky, and looking around, and then they all got excited about the possibilities. What stuff do you want to do? What kinds of stories do you want to tell? What characters do you want to play with that you haven't played with yet? It just became a process of figuring out where everyone fits, where everything goes. It took a little while to set it all up.I'm focusing more on the writers because that's the easier thing, because of the fact that we're putting out so many titles, and many of them are shipping more than 12 times a month. Artists being on a title for a really long run of time, other than a couple of guys like Salvador Larroca, there really aren't too many of those. But this is an artistic switch as well. It's not like Stuart Immonen has ever done X-Men on a regular basis before, so that's cool. It's not like Jerome Opeña has ever done Avengers. That's cool and interesting, too. Certainly John Cassaday drawing anything is a pretty big deal, so that's a win as well. It's a very creator-based and creator-oriented movement, even more than it is a story movement.
Nrama: So will "Marvel NOW!" include some creators that have been around but might be new to Marvel, or perhaps folks who haven't been at Marvel in a while?
Brevoort: You'll see a little of that, probably more on the artist side. Not just Cassaday, there's a few other things yet to come. So there will definitely be some creators who either you haven't seen around Marvel's parts in while, or you haven't seen at Marvel before.We have a really good bench of talent, and at the end of the day, only so many books. So it's not like there were that many open berths, quite honestly. There are some guys that are coming in, and it's always good to refresh our world, and bring new guys into it, but at the same time, a lot of our methodology has always been finding great creators, bring them into the fold, and then sort of building them and elevating them from project to project. Rick is a good example. Rick came in, and was doing Punisher, and then did Uncanny X-Force, and Venom, and Secret Avengers, and now he's doing Uncanny Avengers. There's a real deliberate escalation, because he's done well at every level, and found success. Readers are excited about what he's doing. The drive is always, "What can we do to make more of that?" and put him in a position to do bigger and greater things. That tends to be our trajectory.
Nrama: Let's talk about Uncanny Avengers a bit. The natural reaction some fans will have is, well, we've already seen Wolverine as an Avenger for years, plus Beast, and Storm recently, too — what makes Uncanny Avengers distinctly different than that, and the book that is kicking off "Marvel NOW!"?
Brevoort: It's the first book for a couple of reasons. One, it's new. Two, it's a direct outgrowth of where AvX winds up. We've seen mutant characters, even going back to Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, on Avengers many times over the years, but really the world of the Avengers and the world of the X-Men at a certain point in the '90s diverged, to the point where it almost seemed like they were living in two separate universes. They would show up, they would cameo, they would have team-ups, but generally speaking, those two worlds didn't intersect too much. In the post-AvX world, we are making it a mission to not have that be the case.
Uncanny Avengers is at the forefront of that. It is an Avengers title, but it is an Avengers title that has one foot in each of those worlds. They're as likely to be fighting Apocalypse as the Red Skull.
In AvX #1, on the beach, Captain America and Cyclops have a fairly frank discussion about the fact that whenever the X-Men seem to be going through hard times, the Avengers are nowhere to be seen. Cap's point of view was, we were respecting you, and we were staying out of your way, and we were letting you deal with the stuff you had to deal with, and we were always there to lend a hand. But by the end of AvX, and the things that happen during the course of it, and the place we're at, his point of view on that has somewhat changed. He realizes, for good or ill, "Maybe there's more we could do." And this is something, honestly, the fans talk about all the time, too. "Where do the Avengers allow there to be such mutant hatred? Why don't they come out and take a stand, and lend their weight to the cause?" So Uncanny Avengers is really all about that. The Avengers, and their point of view, and the things that they've learned and experienced, changing their outlook, and finding a way to try to reach across the aisle, and to embrace the mutant side of the Marvel Universe in a meaningful way. Whether that'll be successful or unsuccessful, if nothing else, there will be a lot of things blowing up, and being thrown at once another, and zap bolts will fly.
It will also be cool because there are characters who are huge characters, who have been around for decades, and are beloved, that you really haven't seen interact in a meaningful way with one another. This is a place where a lot of that will get to play out. Rather than having another story with Cap, Thor and Iron Man — and there's nothing wrong with that, these are great characters, they interact terrifically — but there have been a lot of stories about that. There are not a lot of stories where Captain America and Havok interact in a meaningful way. So Uncanny Avengers will be a place where that sort of thing can happen.
Nrama: Taking a bit of a guess here because of the Remender connection, but is Uncanny Avengers taking the place of Secret Avengers?
Brevoort: It does not take the place of Secret Avengers. It is a new book. What will become of Secret Avengers, and who will be doing Secret Avengers, that's a story for another day.
Uncanny Avengers is a new group, they will have a very defined point of view, they will have a very defined mission statement within the Marvel Universe. That'll become clearer as we get closer to the end of AvX. It'll be a very "Rick Remender" book, so a lot of things will happen, and there will be a lot of personal drama and angst, and a lot of what Rick calls "power chord" moments. And the tremendously beautiful, flawless work of John Cassaday — it's great to see him back doing Marvel Comics again. You've seen Cass draw Captain America, you've seen Cass draw Astonishing X-Men, this is like seeing him draw all of that stuff, and more, in one place. There's no more hard sell I have to do at that point.
Nrama: Let's switch gears to Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen's All-New X-Men, which has an attention-getting hook of bringing the original X-Men into the present day.
Brevoort: Brian decided that if he was going to write X-Men, he had to start at the beginning. [Laughs.] He knew nothing, and he read X-Men #1 and went, "Great! I want to write that now."This will involve the legitimate, 1963, Stan Lee/Jack Kirby X-Men in the here and now. It's got a very cool core idea to it, which in essence is, starting back when Claremont and Byrne were doing the book, there have been all of these "Days of Future Past" stories, in which the X-Men get a glimpse — either by going there, or guys from the future have come back — and seen the world to come if the X-Men don't succeed and excel, if they give up the fight, the world will be an awful place for mutants. At this point, it occurred to us that if you took the original X-Men, and popped them out of where they are and dropped them down today, that would be, to them, like jumping into Days of Future Past. Good, bad or indifferent. Those characters, and their legacy, and all the stuff that surrounds them, have been through enormous changes. What would that do? How would they react? How does a 17-year-old/18-year-old sort of introverted, sort of uncertain of himself but growing into leadership Scott Summers, react and relate to the guy who's the general of the mutant army, that have been bunkered down in Utopia, almost like a militia. Is this where he thought he would be? And not just for Scott, for all these characters. They've been through a lot of stuff, and they're going to have different individual reactions to all of this, but for them, it's Days of Future Past. This is weird, and strange, and bad, and how did things get to here?
Nrama: It's funny because you had previously ruled out Jean Grey coming back during AvX and it turns out she is coming back, just directly after AvX, and not in the way people would have likely expected.
Brevoort: I've been kind of chuckling a little bit as the Jean Grey fans have been getting more and more outraged at the fact that I told them, "Jean is not coming back in AvX. She's not a part of it." Because from day one, I've known we're going to do this story. So there will in fact be a Jean Grey. It is the earliest Jean Grey. So the fans who have really come out in support of that character will get the thing they wished for, in a sense. And hopefully they'll like it, and probably there will be more campaigning — "How dare you do this?" And that's fine, too.
So, yes, there will be a Jean, and there will be a Warren Worthington — an Angel who remembers who he is, and didn't go crazy to try and go all Apocalypse and destroy the world, and hasn't sort of died and been reborn. And there will be a young Iceman who hasn't quite grown into his powers and himself yet, and there will be a non-furry Beast. It's definitely going to be an interesting story.
Nrama: It's the kind of story that at first seems like a miniseries or maybe an opening arc, but it appears that this is the plan going forward, right?
Brevoort: I don't want to say too much, but the stuff that comes out of it, the fact that the X-Men come here, and see the world, and go, "This is pretty weird;" that's not a six-issue story. The choices they make, the decisions they come to, what they decided that has to be done, that's the kickoff point, that's going to propel the X-Men titles as a whole for a good, long while. Without getting into the specifics, it's not a, "we have a little adventure with them and we're done." In the same way that "Avengers Disassembled" changed and informed every Avengers story that Brian wrote, this opening arc of All-New X-Men is going to have that same effect on probably years worth of X-Men stories.
Nrama: Then there's Avengers, which is said to be widening the membership base even further than it has been in recent years.
Brevoort: There's a little more to it than that. First of all, Jon is going to write both Avengers and New Avengers. Both of those titles exist. Avengers, the core Avengers title, will, like Amazing Spider-Man, come out twice a month.
Nrama: So there will be three Avengers books a month written by Jonathan Hickman?
Brevoort: Basically, almost every week of the month, there will be a Jon Hickman-written Avengers, and that's worth saying, because I want to make sure people get this information as well:, Jerome's drawing the first few issues, but then immediately after that, Adam Kubert, then immediately after that, Dustin Weaver, and then immediately after that, Mike Deodato. Those four guys are going to do the first 12 issues of the new Avengers book, which will come out in six months. As a series, Avengers is going to have the same kind of story velocity that AvX has had — or, if you look at in a different way, the same kind of series velocity that Fantastic Four has had, having two books, Fantastic Four and FF; except it'll all be that one book. And there will be another book that Jon is writing, that is also crucial to his Avengers world.
Nrama: Given how many unexpected characters have been members of the Avengers in recent years, are there really that many left that haven't been on the team yet?
Brevoort: [Laughs.] You would be so surprised.
It's all subject to change, because stories grow, and stories shrink, and things come up, but right now, Jonathan has 63 issues of Avengers figured out. So when we talk about, "he's got a master plan," the man has a master plan that will include a larger-than-normal roster of Avengers. The fact that the book comes out twice a month, we're going to be much more inclined to break the group up into smaller groups, and send four guys off on a mission here, and send three guys to do something over there, and not feel like everybody has to be in every story. There will be a big cast, but it'll really be for the biggest of big stories that you'll get everybody together.
There will be the predominant Avengers. It's a fair bet, I would say, that if you were in a major Marvel Studios motion picture this year, you will be represented in Avengers. There is a core of existing Avengers who will remain in Avengers even beyond that, even if you were not in a major Marvel motion picture. There will be other beloved Marvel characters who will be in Avengers, and there will be a swath of brand-spanking new characters that Jonathan is bringing in who will be Avengers. In typical Jon fashion, he has organized it into a series on concentric circles that make up the different spheres that each of these groups of characters occupy. It starts ostensibly small on the Avengers scale and small on the Jonathan scale, and it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger as you go, where every time you think, "That's as large as he can think," no, he's got another one next issue. And it all fits together. Everything that people loved about what he did on Fantastic Four and Secret Warriors and S.H.I.E.L.D. and for a short time on The Ultimates, it's going to be all of that and more. It's a really massive undertaking.
Nrama: So to recap: The team will consist of familiar Avengers, new characters, and existing Marvel characters who haven't yet been Avengers?
Brevoort: Yes. There will be a couple of characters who are around in the Marvel Universe that haven't been Avengers, there will be some characters who were Avengers in the past but haven't been around the book all that much, there will be characters like Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel — she wasn't in the movie, but she's a cool, solid, central Avengers character, so she'll be in the book. We end up by issue #12 at an active roster of about 18 guys. It's not like all 18 will be in every issue and every story, but the central premise of what Jonathan is doing, and where Avengers is after AvX, is the Avengers as an organization, and the Avengers leadership, has to think bigger. They need to think bigger, they need to get bigger, and think broader about what they're doing, and why they're doing it, and how they're doing it, so they're going to act upon this need, because in typical Hickman fashion, there's big stuff coming! AvX is sort of the tip of that. If the Avengers had been bigger and better and more prepared, maybe that situation would have played out in a different fashion from the get-go.
Nrama: So will New Avengers still be more of a street-level Avengers book, as it has been at times in the past?
Brevoort: No. New Avengers will have a new premise, a new hook, that once I tell you what it, you'll go, "Oh, of course, I see exactly what that is and how it fits in." But we're not ready to talk about it quite yet. We will get to New Avengers shortly, and it really is the yin and yang to Avengers.
The reason I bring it up is because it's all of a piece, and so that when I tell you, "Avengers is going to be coming out twice a month," people don't immediately go, "Oh, they're getting rid of New Avengers."
Nrama: Right, you're definitely taking a shrewd approach at anticipating responses to this news — especially since people would surely complain about a different artist coming on the book quickly after Opeña.
Brevoort: Yeah, "Oh, you lied, you told us it's going to be Jerome Opeña, but it's only Adam Kubert!" We are going to be doing our best to continue to stock Avengers with the crème de la crème of Marvel's artistic talent, and be able to put it on the shelves every other week.
Nrama: Will Avengers Assemble continue?
Brevoort: Yes, it will. See, people thought that was going away, too, but it's not. Avengers Assemble, too, will have new things, and you'll hear about those in the course of time. And Secret Avengers isn't going away. There is an awful lot of Avengers, and it shakes me to the core, but we have different things for each book to do.
Nrama: Right, well, people seem to like Avengers.
Brevoort: They like it $600 million worth, and that's just at home. [Laughs.] I feel on a certain level like if you're an Avengers fan of any stripe, and you can't find an Avengers title that scratches the itch that you're looking to scratch, you're just not looking hard enough.
Nrama: Broadly speaking, it seems that Marvel NOW! is at least partially the realization of a couple of things I've heard for a while now at Marvel convention panels — bringing the X-Men more to the center of the Marvel Universe, and giving more visibility to Marvel's cosmic characters. Is that accurate?
Brevoort: Yes, with one caveat. Essentially it's our own fault — when we were launching Annihilation and doing all of the books that came out of that, the term that got bandied about in the past for it was "cosmic." "These are the cosmic books." That quantifies them, but it also put them in kind of a box. We're not looking at characters like Nova and Rocket Raccoon, as, "Well, they're cosmic characters." These are Marvel heroes. These are Marvel superheroes, and they're going to be in the mix the same way Daredevil is, the same way Rogue is, the same way the Invisible Woman is.
Is there going to be a greater push and emphasis on some of those characters, are we doing a concerted effort on re-establishing their footprint in the Marvel Universe? Absolutely. And it's not running from the fact that these are characters whose adventures take place on a galactic scale. But we're not really thinking of them as, "Now we're doing cosmic books." We're doing Marvel Comics.
You see some of that for certain right now in the story that Brian is doing in Avengers Assemble. That sort of puts the Guardians [of the Galaxy] back on the map, and puts them into context with the Avengers, and let's them all interact, and away we'll go. In a month or so, people will start to get an understanding of what the Guardians' remit is, how they interact with the rest of the Marvel Universe, where they stand, and what they're like as characters and as people. That'll be fun, too. Those kinds of characters will cross-pollinate with as much ease — probably even with greater ease, in a sense — as the X-Men and the Avengers. These characters, they just haven't had titles [recently]. There's no reason why Nova, or Rocket, or Star-Lord couldn't be in the Avengers, and may not be in the Avengers. They're Marvel characters.Keep reading Newsarama for much more on Marvel NOW! More from Newsarama:

H&M has just unveiled the first designs from Anna Dello Russo's accessories collection. The Vogue Japan editor-at-large has created a range of "precious" pieces for the high street store, designed to reflect her love of ornamentation.
The collaboration, set to land in stores on October 4, includes sunglasses, jewellery, shoes and handbags - and even a particularly stylish suitcase.
"I am excited by this collaboration - it's the first time H&M has involved a fashion director in a special project," said Dello Russo. "This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist I know accessorising is essential - it is the personal touch to any outfit. With these pieces everybody can have fun, turning an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day."
Dello Russo last week released the music video to her own track, Fashion Shower, to celebrate the launch of the line - which features the fashion editor dictating her style rules while showcasing some of her self-designed jewellery.

Tea Party Talk on 11 Oct, Siege Walk on 20 Oct
Tonight the Old South Meeting-House hosts a talk by local historian Robert Allison on the Boston Tea Party. The historic site's announcement reads in part:
The Department Chair in History at Suffolk University, Allison says of the Tea Act that preceded the protests in the colonies, "This was a corporate bail-out [for the East India Company], and an attempt by Parliament to get control of the Company. The reaction in the American colonies grew out of this. Americans knew that the East India Company had taken over the government of India, that the wealth of India was now being directed into the coffers of the Company, and that Bengal had been suffering a famine. If the Company, and Parliament, were allowed the same control of North America, the lives and liberties of Americans would be sacrificed to the greed of the East India Company."I was surprised to read that Americans were aware of events in Bengal, but when I checked the newspapers of 1773 there were indeed essays talking about the tyranny of the East India Company on the other side of the world. Those writers didn't go into detail, and probably wouldn't have cared if they hadn't been trying to make a point about how rapacious the company might be toward America. But still, it's interesting to see Americans taking an interest in Asia that early.
The free evening program begins at 6:30 P.M. on Thursday, October 11. It comes in connection with Prof. Allison's new book on the Tea Party.
Old South has also announced a certain brand of tea as "the Official Tea of the 234th Boston Tea Party Reenactment." This tea company was founded in 1892, so it has no connection to the original tea. (Though, oddly enough, last year a commenter tried to claim it did.) This sponsorship is yet another example of how the weakness of public funding for public institutions has sent advertising into every aspect of our culture. That said, if the Yorkshire Gold tea brand wishes to become the official tea of Boston 1775, it has only to send a year's supply.
In other news, Boston 1775 reader Robert C. Mitchell alerted me to this event later in the month, sponsored by Walk Boston.
Sat. Oct 20But I'm sure Boston 1775 readers know that there was no "British siege" in 1775-76; the British were besieged by the Continental Army, and the forts "defending Boston" were in British hands.

Q&A With Junior Guard Clint Allard

In 2005-06, Head Coach Bill Carr's second season at the helm of the UC San Diego Men's Basketball team, the Tritons turned in a Division II best 15 victories and surprised the CCAA with a fourth place finish. The squad will be looking to better those results this season and one of the key components of Carr's third club is junior guard Clint Allard. The 6-1 graduate of
Q-Last year's team produced the most wins since the UCSD program moved to Division II in 2000-01. Has that heightened the team's expectations as far as the 2006-07 season?
ALLARD�Definitely Last year was a positive step forward for the program, but we know that we have to continue to build on that success. Every other team is going to be giving us their best every night now that we are recognized as a tough game, but if we play like we're capable, I think we can meet our team expectations of winning the league, going to the NCAA Tournament and seeing where we can take it from there.
Q-What was the highlight of last season from your perspective?
ALLARD�Winning six of seven games toward the end of the season was a
Q-What are your expectations for the team in 2006-07?
ALLARD�My expectations for the team are high. We have the ability to beat every team that we have left on our schedule and, in my opinion, there is no reason that we shouldn't as long as we bring maximum intensity and focus every night and realize we are better as a team than we are as a bunch of individuals.
Q-The team has three veteran guards, yourself, senior Robby Peters and junior Andrew Hatch. What different things do each of you bring to the court?
ALLARD�Robby is the best shooter that I have every played with and that is obviously his strength. But, he's worked on his whole game and has become a much better defender in his four years.
Andrew is hands down the best on-ball defender on the team. His strength helps him control the other team's guard as well as protect the ball with confidence when our team has it.
I like to think that I bring the ability to slash to the basket and create a shot either for myself or a teammate. All three of us bring experience and leadership that helps our team stick to the game plan.
Q-The team has been without Hatch and fellow starter Henry Patterson since the start of the regular season. What is their status and how will their return help the team?
ALLARD�As far as I know, Henry will miss the Hawaii Pacific game and then be back. Even though he has been injured, he's been working very hard to stay in shape and I think that when he returns, we can expect him to be the high percentage scoring threat he was last season. His presence will undoubtedly attract focus from the other team's defense.
Andrew will be able to start working back after we return from our Christmas break, Dec. 27 and we hope he'll be ready to go very soon after. Andrew's return will bolster our backcourt depth and our entire defense as well as provide another vocal leader on the floor.
Q-How would you handicap this year's CCAA men's basketball race?
ALLARD�The coaches' poll selected
Cal Poly Pomona is off to a fast start and they return a pretty solid lineup from top to bottom, so they will be a team to reckon with.
I truly believe that we are at least as good as any other team in our league if we play as we are capable. We hope to be at the top of the standings when the beginning of March rolls around.
Q- This is your third season under Head Coach Bill Carr. What are his strengths as a coach? How has his coaching style evolved since he arrived?
ALLARD�Coach Carr's biggest strength is knowing what it will take to win. Team defense is the key to victory in the CCAA. Coach stresses that and makes sure ours improves every single day.
The veteran guys joke that Coach Carr has gone soft and is not as isolated as he was in his first year, but I'm pretty sure that was by design. The team had to gain coach's respect before we were able to open up two-way lines of communication. But, since we've begun to earn his respect, he has been much more open to suggestions, whether it be basketball strategy or where to eat on the road.
Q-What part of your game did you work on most in the off-season? What do you expect will be the results of that work during the season?
ALLARD�This off-season, I worked on improving my in-game skills, meaning I tried to practice the shots that I was most likely to get in games, and I tried to work on my skills like there was always a player defending me.
Another part of working on game skills was getting comfortable playing with my teammates over the summer�learning where each player likes the ball and what their strengths are. I expect to be ready for anything a defense throws at me and I also think I will gel with those teammates that I worked with over the summer much more quickly.
Q-Do you follow the rest of the basketball world? If so, what teams and individuals do you admire and draw from?
ALLARD�I am a basketball junkie. I check scores every night and love to watch games, especially college basketball since it is more of a team game and each game means more.
My favorite player is Jason Kidd. I've watched him since my Dad took me to one of his games in high school. I just think the way he makes his teammates better and how he is so versatile are to be admired.
I've also really enjoyed watching the mid-major teams beating up on high level Division I teams because there are no egos on those teams and everybody shares the ball.
Q-If you could play a week for any basketball coach, who would it be?
ALLARD�I would like to see what it would be like to play for Gonzaga coach Mark Few. He seems to get so much out of his players and consistently beats teams that seemingly outmatch his.
He talked to us after we played them last year about needing to have a "swagger" when you play basketball, to know you're the better team and I think that confidence is something he instills in his players.
Q- Who would be your teammates in a "dream" three-on-three lineup?
ALLARD�I would love to play with other guys that are great passers, like John Stockton, and guys with size that move very well without the ball, like Grant Hill in his prime.
Q-You graduated from
ALLARD�Both are very similar in the sense that they are competitive schools that are challenging academically but also have great pride in their athletic programs. These similarities made UCSD an attractive choice for us Mitty graduates.
Q-Outside of basketball, what do you enjoy about
ALLARD�I mean, what's not to love about the location and the weather here in
Q-How do you balance class work, basketball and a social life?
ALLARD�I think athletes have an advantage. In my case, basketball keeps me disciplined and on a strict schedule. You know you have to get your class work done in less free time, but the discipline basketball provides allows me to be successful in school.
As far as social life goes, that is also intricately connected to athletics. I like to go to the other athletic events, hang out with other athletes and I would not have it any other way.
Q-What do you hope to do after you graduate from UCSD?
ALLARD�My UCSD degree will leave me with lots of options but I'm not at a point where I'm ready to decide what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I just know that my time at UCSD is going to have me well-prepared no matter what direction I go.
Q-Basketball-wise, what do you want to accomplish before you leave UCSD?
ALLARD�All of my goals are team-oriented. I would like to go deep into the NCAA Tournament and see what march madness is all about. As a player, I just would like the guys that are left when I'm gone and the coaches to be able to tell future players that I played hard every day, set a good example and was there at the starting point for the UCSD men's basketball program to become a national powerhouse.

The 2007-2009 recession officially ended in June of 2009 (the second quarter). How bad was this recession, and how quickly is the economy recovering? How does this recession and recovery compare to previous cycles?
This page places the current economic downturn and recovery into historical (post-WWII) perspective. It compares output and employment changes from the 2007-2009 recession and subsequent recovery with the same data for the 10 previous recessions and recoveries that have occurred since 1946.
This page provides a current assessment of 'how bad' the 2007-2009 recession was relative to past recessions, and of how quickly the economy is recovering relative to past recoveries. It will continue to be updated as new data are released. This page does not provide forecasts, and the information should not be interpreted as such.
The charts provide information about the length and depth of recessions, and the robustness of recoveries.
The Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research determines the beginning and ending dates of U.S. recessions. http://www.nber.org/cycles.html
It has determined that the U.S. economy experienced 10 recessions from 1946 through 2006. The committee determined that the 2007-2009 recession began in December 2007 and ended in June of 2009. Ending dates are typically announced several months after the recession officially ends. Read the June 2009 trough announcement by the NBER.
The 10 previous postwar recessions ranged in length from 6 months to 16 months, averaging about 10 1/2 months. The 2007-09 recession was the longest recession in the postwar period, at 18 months.
The severity of a recession is determined in part by its length; perhaps even more important is the magnitude of the decline in economic activity. The 2007-09 recession was the deepest recession in the postwar period; at their lowest points employment fell by 6.3 percent and output fell by 5.1 percent.

or "go on page 11"???
Go to page 11. Or "open your book on page 11" (I believe this is also an acceptable option, although I'm not sure about it being natural).
Please be aware that I'm neither a native English speaker nor a teacher.
I've learned here that we use 'at' when we want to instruct students to open their books:
'Open your books at page 3'
And "Open your book(s) to page 11" in BrE too.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.

Hello there. I own a small commercial building in northern IL, it's a newer single stage 7.5 ton package unit with a single speed belt drive blower, and (as a lot of people have) I have a bad part load humidity problem. I was considering different options to try to correct this problem. I understand replacing the unit with a 2 stage unit, or a unit with dehumidification (hot gas bypass) would help, but I would rather not replace the unit.
I know slowing down the blower speed will increase my dehumidification, but I do not want to freeze my coil or overheat the heat exchanger when winter comes, so I was thinking of a more versatile approach then then just statically setting the blower speed lower. After, do a lot of reading, I was wondering how feasible is it to install a VFD to the blower motor? It's a fairly small motor, and VFD pricing is not so bad for loads this size. Could this be used to control the speed of the blower motor successfully, taking logic factors into consideration (obviously by adding other devices to the system) such as call for cooling, humidistat signal, coil temperature? Also, could it even be taken a step further to allow for soft starts which should help with motor and belt life, and even perhaps slower operation of the blower for fan only calls?
Thanks in advance.

Trading commission proposes curbing speculation in oil prices
WASHINGTON — In a move aimed at limiting financial speculators' ability to drive up oil prices, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Thursday proposed restrictions on the number of energy contracts that any single investor can hold and new limits on the trading activities of Wall Street banks.
The commission staff proposal comes amid growing research that suggests that the record high oil and gasoline prices in 2008 were due in part to excessive financial speculation. Much of that speculation came from Wall Street powerhouses such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
"Today's meeting is an important step," commission Chairman Gary Gensler said.
Before 2001, there were limits on how much control any one investor could have in the energy markets, a term called position limits. The limits disappeared amid an era of deregulation, and by 2004 oil prices were climbing sharply as the global economy grew. Crude oil prices peaked at $147 a barrel in July 2008, then crashed along with the economy later that year, to $56 a barrel. Oil is trading at just under $80 a barrel this week.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission seeks to establish a limit on how many contracts an investor could have across all regulated markets in which oil and natural gas are traded. This would broaden the limits that existed before 2001, since it would apply not only to contracts for future delivery of oil, but also to markets that involve the physical delivery of oil and natural gas.
That's important, because several Wall Street firms got involved not only in the speculative futures market but also in the physical markets, giving them tremendous potential for market manipulation. Morgan Stanley, as a player in the physical market, controls an estimated 15 percent of the home-heating oil supply in New England. Goldman Sachs owns shares of companies that own pipelines and refineries.
Gensler and fellow commissioners said they weren't trying to regulate prices, but rather restrict the possibility for heavy market concentration by big investors, which could lead to price manipulation.
Many analysts think that the huge flow of Wall Street money into oil and other commodities in the last decade raised the price for a range of commodities, from barrels of oil to bushels of corn.
One leading proponent of this view is Michael Masters, a hedge fund manager who warned Congress repeatedly about the impact of excessive speculation in oil markets. He called Thursday's commission proposal "an interim step, but a very good first step."
"You don't have to conclusively prove that excessive speculation is an issue. That's not their job. It can be circumstantial, or the belief that there's speculation," Masters said in an interview. "I feel strongly that we have had a significant bout of excessive speculation, and I'm glad to see the CFTC taking action that is reflective of that."
Commissioner Bart Chilton, a Democratic appointee, welcomed the limits but said that they "err on the high side," meaning that he'd prefer to see them lower. He added that "should the limits prove inadequate, the agency can, and I hope will, recalibrate" them.
A difficulty in proving excessive speculation is the fact that two-thirds of oil trading happens in unregulated or "dark" markets called over-the-counter exchanges, which now are getting congressional scrutiny and probably face reporting requirements.
On these "dark" exchanges, Wall Street firms enter into private bets, called swaps, with another party on what will happen to the price of oil. These Wall Street banks are called swap dealers.
Swap dealers face market concentration limits on their bets on contracts in regulated markets, but they've been free from position limits when they're hedging against their "dark" market bets on the regulated New York Mercantile Exchange.
McClatchy reported in September 2008 that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission had discovered that some Wall Street speculators had, in the unregulated markets, exceeded the limits they faced in the regulated markets. That's one reason that critics such as Masters argue that Wall Street speculators have pushed up the price of oil and other commodities.
Under the commission's new proposal, which is being put out for comment for 90 days, Wall Street firms could keep their exemptions from position limits on their "dark" market bets, but their names would be made public and they'd be forced to supply the commission with monthly data that they've never reported before, along with other reporting requirements.
"That's meaningful," Masters said.
