Imaging Services
Medical imaging plays a key role in the delivery of quality health care. At Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, our highly skilled medical imaging and radiology professionals work with advanced imaging technologies to accurately detect, diagnose and treat a wide array of illnesses and abnormalities.
We also provide comprehensive interventional radiology services. A subspecialty of medical imaging, this is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery uses image guidance for such procedures as treatment of neurovascular disease, angiograms, stenting and catheter placement.
All medical imaging professionals at Hollywood Presbyterian are certified by the state of California and are nationally licensed by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Medical imaging services offered at Hollywood Presbyterian include:
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- 64-slice Computed Tomography (CT)
- Digital Mammography
- Stereotactic breast biopsy
- Dexa Scan
- Nuclear Medicine
We use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment to capture images with a level of detail, clarity and speeds never before possible. This allows our physicians to provide more accurate diagnoses and enables them to see more patients, also accommodating to larger and more claustrophobic patients.
64-slice CT (computed tomography) scans provide 3-images of the anatomy allowing for more accurate diagnosis. A 64-slice CT can also take detailed images of the heart and arteries to diagnosis heart disease. This is an outpatient, non-invasive procedure that is highly acurate and more convenient for the patient.
A mammogram is an x-ray examination of the breast. We use it to detect and diagnose breast disease in women who either have breast problems such as a lump, pain, or nipple discharge, as well as for women who have no breast complaints. The procedure allows detection of breast cancers, benign tumors, and cysts before they can be detected by touch. Women over 40 years of age are advised to have annual screening mammography for the early detection of breast cancer.
Stereotactic breast biopsy is image guided needle biopsy for the diagnosis of breast cancer and breast disease.
Dexa scan is used to evaluate bone density and detect osteoporosis.
Advanced nuclear imaging, lets us to detect coronary artery disease and other forms of heart disease.

Unique Key (AC97;AC2K)
I am trying to create an auto number key for a detail record, which will reset to 1 when a new Master Record is created.
Example. (Time Recording)
Master Record contains (among others)
TSheetId; Autonumber; key
Employee Id;
Detail Record contains
Hours Worked;
NOTE: Validation is such that either a Job Number OR a Cost Centre Number are entered. (Table Level Validation)
There will be many Detail Records to one master record. Whilst the combination of Job Number and Cost Centre will be unique, one or the other will be Null. I am looking for an approach will give me a key for the Detail Record. I was looking at trying somehow to set the key of the detail record to 1, incrementing for each new Detail record, so that the unique key for the detail record would be TSheetId;DetailId. Setting the detailRecord key to autonumber would work, but I want to display line item numbers on the subform for the detail record.
TIA to all who respond

Re: Unique Key (AC97;AC2K)
From an updatability perspective, you probably want to add an autonumber that is the primary key for the table, just to keep Access happy. However you will want to index the various fields so you can get reasonable performance in looking up detail records. One way to set an index number for each detail record would be to do a dmax query to find the largest number currently used, and when you add a detail record, you would assign the next number + 1 to the new detail record. A better approach from a multi-user approach would be to store the next index number for detail records in the Master Record. Thus adding a new Master Record would set that value to 1. However, you might look at a different design approach:
Does the Master Record table store both Job Numbers and Cost Center Numbers? If not, I would consider doing that. If that's already the case, I would change your detail design to use a pointer to a record in the Master Record table, so that there would never be a null in the pointer in the Detail Record. Then you could use that in combination with a detail record counter to always have a unique key, thus enforcing the uniqueness without the use of an autonumber field. If this raises other issues, feel free to post back.Wendell

Re: Unique Key (AC97;AC2K)
Thanks Wendell,
You have given me the clue with the idea to store the next index number for detail records in the Master Record. I guess I was looking for a nudge in the right direction. You have provided that. Database is still in planning phase, so I can now include this in design

Politics 28 May 2007 Substance, not style Sir Robert Peel: a biography Douglas Hurd
Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 416pp, Sign up for our weekly email * "He is such a cold man," wrote Queen Victoria of Sir Robert Peel, "I can't make out what he means." His political peers were no more complimentary. An old adversary, the Irish nationalist Daniel O'Connell, compared Peel's smile to "the silver plate on a coffin", and Disraeli's denunciations were as vicious as they were unfair - yet they stuck. A prime minister of great achievements, Peel none the less has a sour, dour reputation. Ironically, it is his latest biographer, Douglas Hurd, who delivers the coup de grâce. Hurd has set out to rehabilitate a man he greatly admires, and he shows that there is much to admire in this professional and competent leader. But neither Queen Victoria nor O'Connell, nor even Peel's nemesis Disraeli, did more harm to Peel's reputation than has his new and sympathetic biographer. "Reading Peel's letters," writes Hurd, "I am reminded of another prime minister for whom I worked closely for seven years in opposition and 10 Downing Street. Like Ted Heath, Peel was stiff in manner . . . was greatly admired by close colleagues . . . was impatient with contradiction [and was] apt to lash out particularly at his own supporters." This does poor Sir Robert no favours. Peel is incomparably greater than that awkward, curmudgeonly mediocrity Edward Heath. Successful modern politicians' habit of drawing on their own experiences to illustrate political history is hedged round with limitations. Too often, it reveals only the quality and wisdom of the politician in question - and that depends on, in this case, one's view of Hurd's career. As a historian, though, Hurd delivers a vivid and readable portrait of a semi-modern British titan. This biography is elegantly written, well researched and (usually) admirably sensible in its judgements. Peel, the son of a rich cotton-spinner, was educated at Harrow. Hurd writes rumly: "Eaton has produced more PMs but scattered over a longer period. Harrow lists her PMs on the programme of the annual festival of Harrow Songs. Speaking at this occasion, I commented that it must be convenient for Harrow to be able to print all its PMs on one page. This very Etonian remark was received with hisses." Hurd's account of Peel's personal life is never less than touching. It is clear that he was a kind father and decent husband - though his unrelieved wholesomeness sometimes makes us yearn for the debaucheries of his notorious lord chancellor, Lord Lyndhurst. Peel was in some ways one of the first Victorians: he was deeply shocked by the adulterous bed-hopping of Regency bucks such as his rival "Lord Cupid" Palmerston. In 1820, he married Julia, a general's daughter, who inspired an outpouring of romantic verse: The sailor's home is on the main The warrior's on the tented plain The infant's on the mother's breast But where thou art is home to me And home without thee cannot be. Under Lord Liverpool, then Canning and Goderich, Peel was the first modern home secretary. In 1829, he founded the police - the "Peelers", still known in his honour as "Bobbies". A superb administrator with a practical understanding of finance and business, Peel became the mainstay of the Tory party - but he was commendably unafraid of U-turns, first on Catholic emancipation and later on the Corn Laws. Peel's Tory party had already, surprisingly, survived the Great Reform Act of 1832: "As I studied Peel leading the opposition after the Great Reform Bill," writes Hurd, "I read of David Cameron's first encounter with Tony Blair . . . Cameron's offer to help the government carry the good parts of education reform . . . compared exactly with Peel's concept of opposition." In 1834, King William IV removed the Whig prime minister Lord Melbourne and invited Peel to form a government. His first short administration began with a wonderful, revealing comedy that provides Hurd with his best passage. Peel was on holiday abroad when King William and the Duke of Wellington decided he had to become PM. As no one knew where he was, a 24-year-old royal secretary, James Hudson, was sent on a hilarious odyssey from Dover to Paris, and thence to Turin, Milan, Florence and Rome, where he finally found the unruffled Peel and offered him the premiership. As for his modern-day counterpart, Hurd suggests, political transformation was the order of the day. The next month, Peel issued his Tamworth manifesto, promising that the Tories would "reform to survive", and laid the foundations of modern Conservatism. In 1841, Peel won a landslide election, proving that the Reform Act had not, as expected, prevented the Tories becoming the party of the respectable middle class. "For the first time in British history," writes Hurd, "a government had been overturned not by the king or a vote in parliament, but by a vote of the British electorate." Hurd delivers a fine scene of parliamentary drama when Disraeli attacks Peel, who responds by revealing the young Disraeli's shameless begging for a position in one of Peel's governments. The anecdote reveals both Disraeli's recklessness - he had the chutzpah to deny it - and Peel's admirably haughty disdain - he failed to produce the letter that would have destroyed his attacker for ever. Peel's sensible government of talented and vigorous ministers was to be dominated by the tragedy of the Irish potato blight, the consequent famine and Peel's inevitable decision to repeal the Corn Laws. This destroyed the party he had just created for another 20 years, and he left office unhappily. Throughout his career, Peel came up against flamboyant, ruthless, gifted politicians - first Canning, then Disraeli and Palmerston - who were less trusted but much more fun to watch and vote for than himself. Peel was more a Heath or perhaps a Baldwin - who are, one guesses, Hurd's sort of politicians - than a Disraeli, a Palmerston or a Churchill. One senses throughout the book that Hurd sympathises with Peel and deeply prefers this plain-speaking, unshowy breed of leader. In one of his many shrewd epigrammic reflections, Hurd points out that Disraeli, in middle age, learned that sometimes a politician has to pretend to be boring to win over boring people. There are other Hurdian epigrams: "Even the most awful tragedy becomes trite when often repeated," he writes. I particularly liked this one: "Government is the art of matching what you want to do with what you have to do. Happy prime ministers find on arriving in office that events of the moment are propelling them in the direction which they want to take anyway." Some of these reflections are obvious references to today's conventional wisdom - yet they are not necessarily true. Peel's "disastrous British invasion", writes Hurd, "together with the next one in Disraeli's time, remains fresh in the minds of Afghans though not, apparently, in those of British policymakers". Can this be a serious comment? It is certainly hard to fight a war in Afghanistan, but is Hurd suggesting that after 9/11 it would have been more sensible to leave the Taliban regime in place? This books is, however, full of interesting and offbeat detail. Hurd reveals that the Order of the Garter was in the gift of the prime minister from the mid-19th century until 1946, when Attlee returned it to the monarch, a rare example of the crown regaining lost power in the modern age. He also tells us that "Peel was the last prime minister not to be photographed". Some of the detail is intriguingly contemporary. In the acknowledgements, we learn that William Hague, the biographer of Pitt, advised Hurd on his research: "buy books, don't borrow". Then, more challengingly: "another politician who helped was Gordon Brown. I went to see him at the Treasury on a matter related to prisons. I soon found myself discussing Peel in relation to the doctrines of the Church of Scotland and the ethical views of Adam Smith." Despite the quirky details - which culminate in Peel's death in 1850, when he was thrown by his horse on Rotten Row - Hurd cannot quite rescue him from his chronic lack of charisma. He does, however, confirm Peel's stature, showing that he invented One Nation Toryism - the "left-wing conservatism" of Harold Macmillan and Edward Heath - before Disraeli: "While Disraeli spun the phrases that survive, Peel clumsily and sometimes unattractively took the actions that underpinned Britain's strength and prosperity. 'One Nation' is a phrase from one of Disraeli's novels; it describes a sense of direction established by Peel." Now that Hurd has successfully made Peel sympathetic, if not magnetic, I hope he will next turn his attention to our greatest unknown prime minister, who won the Napoleonic wars and gave Peel his start in government: Lord Liverpool.

Empathy versus Terror
Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in Sidi Bouzid in Tunisia on 17 December 2010. He died of his injuries 18 days later. He took this extreme action to protest the venal corruption of local police officers. He might instead have gone to the local police station with explosives strapped to his body or blazing away with an assault rifle. But, in that case he would be just another suicide bomber to go with the nearly 5000 others in the last 20 years.
Bouazizi's goal was to invoke empathy for the way that he and thousands of others had been treated, rather than to invoke terror. He couldn't have imagined how successful he would be. The Tunisian President, President Pine El Abidine Ben Ali fled the country after 23 years in power. Mubarak has gone. Qaddafi is next, and who knows where it ends. I find it fascinating that empathy has proven so much more effective than terror as an agent of change.
Suicide as a political act is quite rare through history. When it does happen, it can have a dramatic impact. The Buddhist monks who burned themselves with gasoline in Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam war had a substantial impact on the American public. The hunger strike of Bobby Sands for his Irish republican cause had a similar impact. Mahatma Gandhi's hunger strike was an important part of his campaign. Throughout history there have been martyrs who were prepared to accept excruciating deaths to advance their political or religious cause. The Romans were deeply impressed by how many early Christians would accept an agonising death rather than renounce their beliefs.
Suicide bombings are a different thing. They are in essence acts of violence, rather than acts of sacrifice. And they are treated by the public accordingly. My reaction to 5000 suicide bombings — from mostly islamist groups — is to acknowledge the intensity of feeling and determination to succeed that there is among the members of various islamist groups. Suicide attacks are rare in history. 5000 over 20 years exhibits an immense and enduring level of determination, which cannot be ignored.
But I wonder whether empathy would be a more effective tool than suicide attacks for islamists. It is hard to think of a cause that has been won through terrorism, and many have failed.

hi Sam
I'd say the demonstration in Egypt, etc. were also an appeal to empathy. The people wanted to be heard, wanted to be listened to, wanted to be seen. All parts of empathy.
My I suggest a further resources to learn more about empathy and compassion.
The Center for Building a Culture of Empathy
The Culture of Empathy website is the largest internet portal for resources and information about the values of empathy and compassion. It contains articles, conferences, definitions, experts, history, interviews, videos, science and much more about empathy and compassion.
Also, we invite you to post a link to your article about empathy to our Empathy Center Facebook page.

Workers rights strikes me as one example where terror has worked. "Many of the anarchist grievances were addressed by steady reforms. Trade unions were finally legalized, and many of their demands were achieved one by one: an eight-hour working day, greater safety protections, compensation for the injured. Work was no longer so barbaric — so the violent rejection of it faded away. The changes were nowhere near as radical as those demanded by the anarchists, but it stripped them of followers step-by-step." see link on my name.
More generally, every social movement has both "extremists" and "moderates", and though both despise the other, without extremists pushing the envelope moderates would probably not make the gains that they do.

With a heavy heart, the country superstar shut down her original small-town store in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. It was one of her first business ventures in the town, and had been heralded by the town for bringing more commerce to the area.
Miranda Lambert announced the decision to shutter the store in Tishomingo on May 25th, however her other Tishomingo-area businesses will remain open.
The Pink Pistol Boutique opened in late 2012 when Lambert and her now-ex husband, Blake Shelton lived together near the town. She later opened other ventures in the area including a no-kill shelter for dogs and a quaint bed and breakfast.
"I want to send a heartfelt thank you to all the employees who worked hard to help me bring the store in Tishomingo to life, as well as the patrons who came to experience the Pink Pistol and supported the store," Lambert's press release said.
The singer gave no official date for closing the store, and details regarding what would happen to the employees following the business closure were scarce.
Lambert did state that her other location in Lindale, Texas would remain open and house all of her goods there following the closure.
What do you think the reason she is closing down the original boutique in Oklahoma?
Let us know in the comments below!
Watch Miranda help a newlywed couple celebrate at her store in the video below - surely just one of the precious moments that happened in the small town boutique!

|Re: OpenJPA missing extensions
|Thu, 07 Sep 2006 05:09:02 GMT
Thanks for the update Marc. I take it that OpenJPA will not have the facility to map Collections of value or embedded types in the near future then? Some of the extension annotations are still present (i.e. @PersistentCollection/@PersistentMap) yet other annotations such as @ElementColumn are gone. In fact its still possible to map sets/lists using @PersistentCollection, however the contents of the collection are mapped as a BLOB. I'm not sure about the story - have the differences between OpenJPA and Kodo have been quantified or is it too early to make this information public? Regards, Steve > > Steven- > > Those were actually some of the mappings that we didn't release to > OpenJPA ... we missed removing their mention in the documentation. > I've updated the doc source to exclude them.

10 Rules Novice Bettors should follow to succeed in Betting
Items, listed below, have been tested by many beginners and experienced punters during the existence of Betting business. However, we would like to mention before we start that the represented material does not claim ultimate truth, and it exactly does not guarantee that you will get victorious against bookmakers and no way it guarantees to bring you millions of dollars, though. But nevertheless, following these rules may save your money and raise your chances to turning up a winner. Well, let's get started.
10 Main Rules of a new betting player are below:1. Bet for what? We all can regard betting as either a business or entertainment, depends on what approach to use. In the first case we have to comprehend there is never a 100% guarantee of winning, always we find it like kind of game called gambling, and all we put at stake is pretty much risky and compromising the bankroll. Once you start betting, establish the money limit you can allocate for your game and make sure it will not cause much damage to your main finances. In addition you should make up a strategy and stick to it as long as you are in, define your stake range, outcomes, keep an eye on all the sports events within the selected kind of sport, read and learn constantly.
If you find betting an entertainment or a bonus to enjoyable support and keep track of your favourite team, so you may not follow any principles, even no rules are needed to do what you like. One advice - do not put at stake too much, that may bring you bitter taste, though.
2. Bookmaker selection. The longer a bookmaker works in the business, the more trust it takes. In general, major betting companies highly treasure its reputation and customers. At the same time, any other one-day bookie might easily disappear with your money in possession at once. Namely, it is all the same when you are to choose a bank to deposit. Therefore we strongly recommend you to view our selection regarding which one to pick on this bookmaker reviews page.
3. Never be 100% confident. Novice bettors often make a huge mistake when mostly looking at digits indicated as odds in the moneyline, thinking that if a team is favourite, then they always win for certain. The odd simply displays probabilities given to a particular outcome of a sport event to happen, that's all. Football & soccer history includes a load of such sensations, when a certain underdog eventually beat the favourite, however, prior the match no one could even expect that might be for real. That is it.
4. Favourite of match. From the previous paragraph one important thing should be mentioned over and over again - most bets the bookmakers accept from customers are bets on favourites, indeed, which are estimated as odds at 1.1 - 1.4 (1/10 - 4/10) in most cases with the participation of favourite team or player. There is no doubt that preferred teams often win its matches, but placing bets on them relying on the odd only is at least ridiculous. The game may simply be drawn and no winnings you do not receive if preferred by you team plays poorly. That is why you should carefully analyse every bet you place on favourites and that bet should be based on your hypothesis, not on odds suggested by the sportsbook.
5. Multiple bets or Accumulators ("Parlay"). Naturally, every novice bettor upon registration or visit to a bookmaker office is aware how to play accumulators or make parlays, namely it is like multiplying a stake into a greater amount by placing a few bets in a row or within one bet (odds are multiplied respectively), but a parlay is won when all the bets go winning without exclusion, though. Bad thing is if you are trying to guess a lot of outcomes at once, your chance to win will be significantly reduced due to the probability theory, and most likely the bookmaker will get your accumulator lost and grab your funds on its side.
So we can surely state that there are either many bettor who play parlays successfully, in general this relates distinguished punters, and a lot more players get caught losing at this kind of betting. Remarkable fact: a new bookie player always forgets about the probability theory and tries to accumulate his parlay bet to enormous odds, then hit the jackpot, but eventually he gets disappointed.
6. Financial strategy. Set up your bankroll amount (money you can spend on betting), stake for one bet (recommend it to be less than 5%), sport direction, approximate number of bets per day (week), ratio of single and multiple bets if there are some. The number of placed bets has to allow every of them to be considered and measured in advance because we regard betting as a profitable business, right? The moment you depart from the selected strategy means the beginning of the end - believe us, it is very important. Thus, before you intend to place a bet, be sure you are following your advantageous strategy first of all.
7. Winning & losing streaks. It can happen to anyone, and you are not an exception. There are moments when every bettor, whether a newcomer to the world of betting or experienced punter, get to suffer those streaks that will occur in your betting career anyway. The most dangerous situation is when you have caught a winning streak of 5-10 consecutive won bets and right away you start considering yourself as a king of gambling. That feeling may bring you down as soon as you lose your first bet from the streak, then you unconsciously want to cover the loss with another winning bet by just increasing it. Here it is. Remember once and forever - after a winning streak always comes a losing one (proved by many players). To avoid that exemplified process, you must follow the strategy and be ready when it happens.
8. Bet on what you are well-versed in. You physically cannot cover all the sports at once. Pick out one-two, at max three kind of sports you are willing to comprehend. Do not spray your efforts! Even it would be much better to restrict yourself by particular soccer leagues and keep track of them, their news, what occurs within at full power. If you mean to bet wisely, then it is required to know all the standings, who are now on the rise, who are on some sort of streaks, etc. In addition we strongly recommend watching all the matches of the league you have chosen and keep it going trend with yourself.
9. Emotions, faith, hope. Typically, novice players forget that they want to earn, rather than cheer for their favourite team. It may sound illogically someway - it is better to maximally go away from football matches being a fan and shift your focus to reasonable and rational estimation of a situation. Try to eliminate the element of passion and affection for teams.
10. Life and betting. It is not worth building a cult about betting, even though you decided to make it a business. Victories substitute losses and vice versa while life is moving on. Even in case you lost your whole bankroll, remember that there are family, friends, real life you ought to take care of. It is not necessary to sacrifice for winnings , just learn to combine betting with real life and make it an extra income, no more of it. Good luck with this exciting endeavour!
No less important fact to succeed in Betting is the right selection of BookmakerIn this part of the article we listed all the most time-tested and reliable sportsbook, so you are free to pick one of them and be sure your money is in safety.

All of us know about the worst traffic situations in Riyadh. How can an ambulance easily make its way out of it Ambulances are seen trapped in this traffic, mostly not seen to move far very fast. I wonder if it's an emergency what will happen then. It is scary because that might be me someday needing it, God forbid! This is a situation when the siren of an ambulance itself is screaming at a very high pitch but is ignored by the drivers and none of them bothers to move an inch. It is very commonly seen that ambulances are waiting for traffic to clear up so that it can proceed to the hospital or to the house of the sufferer. No one gives an inch way even to the ambulance, even after the emergency siren's screaming!
When I am driving I always try to give way to ambulance thinking of that it is my responsibility towards others. Even if I am not driving I make sure to give way by asking the one accompanying me to do so coz I feel it inside myself, the pain of someone else in dire need of the emergency service. I wonder why others don't feel so! Such situations forced me to think and wonder how to get emergency services when needed immediately and what is the standard here. Some strategies should be adopted and taken care of when demanding emergency services coz it's a bit tricky and difficult to avail the service here in Saudi Arabia and one should be fully prepared to face the consequences.
Strategies to get Emergency Treatment in Saudi Arabia
- After dialing the emergency service provider number of 997 you can approach to the Red Crescent in your colony with patient. Almost all the compounds have placed these signs at different places where you need to rush in case of such emergencies. Ambulance service will reach at this place before any other place. If you are living in a flat, it is better to come downstairs with the patient so that treatment can be provided to the patient as soon as Ambulance reaches the point.
- There is one plus point for those who lack knowledge and expertise in Arabic language because there won't be any delay if demanded for emergency services if you don't know Arabic language to communicate. Terms in American English can help you to approach for ambulance service from the Red Crescent team. Terms like "paramedic" and "RTA" are quite common.
- Medical insurance is part of the work contract for most of the expats out there. It is the requirement and law of the labor work over here. These are cut short three strategies for availing medical services in emergency. God forbids if anyone needs it at any time; pray that it is not peak traffic hour! Otherwise the situation would be something you can better imagine yourself.

Kia Brisa: как диктатор запретил первую модель Kia
Сегодня компания Kia – второй по размерам южнокорейский автопроизводитель после Hyundai. Основана эта компания была в 1944 году как производитель стальных труб и в частности велосипедных рам. А вот автомобильная история Kia началась несколько позже и в целом довольно занимательно. Итак, первый Kia.
This Photo Of A 3-Year-Old Defying Donald Trump Is What We Need Now
When all hope is lost, sometimes all you need is a sign. On November 12, thousands of people marched through Los Angeles to protest the election of Donald Trump, according to the LA Times. Since the march, pictures of 3-year-old Kaio Pinho boasting a big message have been popping up on social media: Meanwhile, across America... pic.twitter.com/4NCdZKkSZh— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) November 13, 2016 "If he builds a wall, I'll grow up and tear it DOWN"Protest against Donald Trump, Los Angeles, November 12, 2016. pic.twitter.com/8Ix4qA61DA— Nouph. (@Noufabalkhail) November 14, 2016 "I was drawn to this little boy because he was marching amongst mostly adults, but looked equally determined," Abigail Gorden, the photographer who stopped to snap a picture of Kaio, told The Huffington Post. "He seemed anxious but strong, which I feel you can see by the expression on his face." Kaio's mother, Brisa Pinho, a Brazilian-American with dual citizenship made the sign. "I thought it was a good idea to create a bold sign as if it was my son saying it," Pinho told The Huffington Post. "The wall I speak of in the sign is figurative. [It's] a wall of hate, racism, and xenophobia that if built in the years ahead, will be teared Down by my son and his generation." Though Kaio is only 3, Pinho felt it would be safe to take her son, who likes crowds and music, to the protest she described as "extremely peaceful." Plus she felt that it was an experience her son should have. "I think it's important for children to learn from an early age to stand up for what's right, for others who can't stand up for themselves and to know that they have the power to make their voices heard."

Как утверждает сама Kia Motors, название «Kia» происходит от китайско-корейских слов «ки» («выйти») и «а» (что расшифровывается как «Азия»), он примерно переводится как «вышедшая из Азии» или «выросла в Азии».Некоторые источники склонны считать основанную в 1944 году KIA (в те годы она называлась Kyungsung Precision Industry) первым в истории южнокорейским производителем автомобилей. В принципе, это верно, если судить с точки зрения даты основания. Вот только длительное время компания занималась исключительно велосипедами да мотороллерами, позже мотоколясками и трехколесными транспортными средствами, вроде тех, что выпускала японская Daihatsu. Первое четырехколесное транспортное средство, которое уже можно было назвать автомобилем, появилось лишь в начале 70-х годов. Первые же легковые автомобили появились несколько позже (да и те были построены по лицензии других производителей). В 1951 была переименована в KIA Industries а уже в 90-е годы KIA Motors.Первые грузовики были выпущены в 1962 году, и только к середине 70-х компания наладила полномасштабное производство легковых машин. Киа производила небольшие партии модели Brisa до 1981 года, но очередной военный переворот вынудил Киа полностью сосредоточиться на легких грузовиках.В 1998 году компания погрузилась в финансовый кризис, вызванный резким сокращением продаж. Результатом этого стала потеря самостоятельности: Kia Motors была приобретена корейской автомобилестроительной компанией Hyundai Motor. В 1999 году была создана группа Hyundai Kia Automotive Group
The Case for Business Action on Climate Change
As members of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and on behalf of the 93 companies included in this letter, we recognize that regardless of faith, we can all appreciate the call to climate action contained in Pope Francis' encyclical, "On Care for Our Common Home." It is a universal message -- one that speaks to the challenges climate change is having on society and the environment and the role of individuals, civil society and institutions to address them. For years, the body of science behind climate change has grown clearer and more focused. The planet is warming with severe consequences that threaten business growth and a healthy economy. We believe that we have reached a tipping point on climate change and that there is an unstoppable shift to a global economy that is significantly less harmful to the environment. As the world transitions to this new economy, it will be important to provide economic progress and a higher quality of life for all people in all regions of the world. The private sector will play a key role in this transition and can help build prosperity and secure a better world for what will soon be nine billion people. Increasingly, business leaders are working collaboratively with competitors and with nongovernmental organizations to set goals to significantly reduce natural-resource use, invest in clean energy, improve global health and feed more people. A common thread that cuts across all of these efforts is finding new and innovative ways to use technology to achieve these social and environmental commitments. No company is perfect. But, all companies are made up of people who want to leave a higher quality of life and a better world for generations to come. As leaders of these companies, we are committed to using our innovation, scale and entrepreneurial spirit to seek ways to address both the environmental and societal challenges created by climate change. Ahead of the Paris climate negotiations this December, we will help do our part to facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Despite Hoopla, Court Challenge to Clean Power Plan Likely to Fail
The much ballyhooed legal challenge to the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed Clean Power Plan, brought by coal companies and conservative state attorneys-general, ran out of steam Thursday in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington. Judges Karen LeCraft Henderson, Thomas Griffith, and Brett Kavanaugh, a decidedly conservative panel, heard an hour and a half of oral arguments in a packed courtroom. Here are three takeaways from the arguments: 1. No final action, no jurisdiction The court showed little sympathy for the challengers' unprecedented proposition that they can sue EPA over the Clean Power Plan proposal, to stop the rulemaking in its tracks before the agency makes its final decision. Judges Griffith and Kavanaugh hit this point exceptionally hard, each saying that allowing premature challenges would lead the court into a "morass." Griffith asked repeatedly for any precedent allowing lawsuits over proposals, and any principle to govern when to intervene. The challengers conceded there is no precedent and could offer no principle. West Virginia's lawyer said, "There's always a first time..." As Justice Department counsel explained, it's basic administrative law that one cannot challenge a proposed rule, before an agency has taken a final action that creates any obligations, before the agency explains its final legal, policy, and factual conclusions after considering and responding to public comments. This creates a full administrative record for courts to review, and there is none now. Challengers will have their day in court after EPA issues the final Clean Power Plan standards. The challengers claimed that this case deserves an exception because it turns on a legal interpretation and will have big real world consequences. The states, they claimed, already have to expend resources to prepare. But Judge Kavanaugh said this situation is "not that extraordinary." He noted that many other cases turn on legal interpretations and have big consequences. Judge Griffith asked for any case where merely "bracing for the costs" of a proposed regulation conferred standing to sue, and the challengers had nothing to offer. In short, there's no sign the court will take up the invitation to jump in before EPA has a chance to finish the Clean Power Plan. 2. A glimpse into the merits, no more Lawyers for the coal companies and challenging states contended they had found a legal flaw so clear that the court should stretch the normal rules to decide it early. They claim the statute unambiguously prohibits EPA from regulating power plant emissions of carbon dioxide under the Clean Power Plan because the agency has already regulated power plant emissions of mercury under another provision. Though the challengers contend this prohibition is black and white, it is anything but clear. Congress adopted section 111(d) in 1970 to assure that there would be "no gaps" in the Clean Air Act's coverage of dangerous air pollutants. Existing sources' emissions of pollutants that cause smog (ozone) and soot (fine particles) are curbed under one provision (section 110). Existing sources' emissions of especially toxic pollutants, such as mercury, are controlled under a second provision (section 112). And existing sources' emissions of any other dangerous pollutants, including carbon dioxide and five other heat-trapping pollutants, are regulated under a third provision (section 111(d)). Indeed, in a 2011 case called American Electric Power v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court specifically ruled that section 111(d) of the Act empowers EPA to curb power plants' carbon dioxide emissions. In fact, power company lawyers in that case pressed that very argument upon the Supreme Court. That was then, this is now, it seems. In a theory dreamed up only after the American Electric Power decision, the coal industry and its supporting states argue that Congress abandoned the "no gaps" approach in 1990 Clean Air Act amendments and put EPA to a Sophie's choice: You can protect people from power plants' mercury emissions, or from their carbon dioxide emissions, but not both. Power plants, they claim, must be protected from "double regulation." This is total invention. Power plants emit a host of dangerous pollutants, and these emissions are regulated under at least a half dozen parts of the Clean Air Act. There's no basis for the theory that Congress thought power plants deserved protection against "double regulation," and no basis for thinking that Congress intended to force EPA to choose between curbing mercury pollution and curbing carbon pollution. The briefs filed by EPA, by supporting states led by New York, by NRDC and other environmental groups, and by Calpine Corporation, a major power producer, all show that section 111(d) is there to curb dangerous pollutants that are not curbed under section 112. There are no gaps in the statutory scheme that let some dangerous pollutants off scot-free. When EPA completes the rule, the court will apply the familiar principles of Chevron USA v. NRDC, to determine if EPA has reasonably interpreted the law. That's the Supreme Court case holding that Congress gave agencies the first opportunity to interpret the laws they are charged to implement. Under Chevron, when a statute is ambiguous, courts must defer to an agency's reasonable interpretation. There's a special twist here because the 1990 amendments included two provisions modifying the same sentence in section 111(d) - each change giving that sentence a different ending. In the final rule, EPA will undoubtedly give its views on what each amendment means, and how the two interact. The court will then have to decide if EPA's interpretation is reasonable. Judge Griffith noted that Chevron deference applies not only when a single statutory provision is ambiguous, but also when two statutory provisions conflict. That's the view of a majority of Supreme Court justices in a case called Scialabba v. Cuellar de Orsorio. The court dipped its toes into these legal interpretation questions, but little more. The judges seemed to accept the Justice Department's argument that EPA must be allowed to complete the rulemaking and definitively explain its final decision, including its interpretation of the interplay between sections 111(d) and 112. Questions of statutory interpretation will definitely come before the court once EPA issues its final standards. But there's no sign that this panel of judges will take them up now. 3. No interest in far-fetched constitutional theories These cases have drawn the most public and political attention because of the involvement of Harvard Professor Laurence Tribe - hired by coal giant Peabody Energy but speaking Thursday for all the challengers. He has launched far-fetched constitutional theories, including claims that the Clean Power Plan violates the Fifth and Tenth Amendments of the Constitution and usurps Congress's lawmaking powers. Perhaps a little cautious in front of actual judges, Tribe avoided some of the inflammatory language ("burning the Constitution") that he has deployed in congressional testimony and in the Wall Street Journal. But he did not really skimp, arguing that the Clean Power Plan "commandeers" states into being mere "puppets" for the EPA. This is a total distortion of "cooperative federalism," which has been at the heart of the Clean Air Act for 45 years, and which the Supreme Court has repeatedly approved. As it has dozens of times since 1970, EPA will set national standards to limit power plants' carbon pollution. Each state will then have the first opportunity to write plans to apply those standards to the power plants in that state. Contrary to Professor Tribe, EPA cannot force the state to write a plan. But if the state declines, then EPA is charged with writing and enforcing a federal plan directly limiting those power plants' pollution. In this instance, EPA regulates the power plants directly (just as it does already for acid rain and toxic pollutants) - it does not force the state to do anything. That EPA will regulate the power plants directly is the federal guarantee that makes the Clean Air Act work. But EPA cannot "commandeer" the states into regulating against their will. Tribe argued that the threat of a "secret unknown plan" will force the states to knuckle under. In real life, as I've shown here, most states are actively engaged because both power companies and political leaders prefer to have the states in the lead making the choices involved in writing implementation plans, rather than leaving it to EPA. In any case, EPA has announced that it will propose the contents of federal plans this summer, eliminating the scenario of mystery and dark threats that Professor Tribe imagines. States and other stakeholders will have a full opportunity to comment on the proposed federal plan regulations. When the elements of the federal plan are finalized, they'll serve both as a model to help states design their own plans and as a clear guidance on how EPA will curb power plants' emissions directly if a state chooses not to act. For all the attention Professor Tribe has gotten these past few weeks, there's no sign that he made any dent in the court's thinking. * * * In 2012 the appeals court summarily dismissed another premature challenge to EPA's proposed standards for carbon emissions for new power plants, in a case called Las Brisas Energy Center v. EPA. The two-paragraph ruling stated simply: "The challenged proposed rule is not final agency action subject to judicial review." That seems to be where this panel is headed too. Its opinion could be similarly short and sweet. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.

Napolitano: Key Immigration Program Is 'Not A Long Term Solution'
WASHINGTON -- Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano argued on Thursday that deferred action for young undocumented immigrants, which began one year ago, isn't permanent and isn't an excuse for inaction on immigration reform. "[Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] is not a long term solution to the broader challenges presented by our nation's outdated immigration system," she said in a statement posted on the DHS site. "I am hopeful that the House of Representatives will follow the leadership shown by a strong bipartisan majority of their Senate colleagues and work to fix our broken immigration system," she added. "In the meantime, however, DACA will continue to serve as an important means by which young people brought here as children can remain in, and contribute to, this great country." Napolitano and President Barack Obama announced in June 2012 that undocumented young people who came to the U.S. as children would be allowed to stay temporarily if they met certain criteria, such as going to school or serving in the military. It was meant to be a reprieve for so-called Dreamers who would have been helped by the Dream Act, which failed in the Senate in 2010 and left those young people to be deported even if they had long-standing ties to the U.S. and arrived as children. As of the end of June, 400,562 people had been accepted into the deferred action program of the more than 557,00 who had applied -- a 72 percent acceptance rate with many applications still pending. But the reprieve only lasts for two years at a time, and it doesn't provide a path to citizenship or even a green card. While Republican House members work on a Dream Act-style bill to legalize undocumented young people, tentatively named the KIDS Act, Democrats are pushing for a path to citizenship for the wider undocumented population. Dreamers are doing the same, including by calling for a broader deferred action policy that would halt the deportation of older undocumented immigrants as well. Some said on the anniversary of the program that they appreciate the help for themselves, but they want the same for their parents. "If the president granted me DACA then why can't he do the same for the rest of my family? What makes us different?" Dreamer Brisa Cruz said in a statement marking the anniversary of the program. "I benefited from DACA at the moment when my family and I were detained by [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], I'm 16 years old and live with the fear of one of these days coming home to an empty house because ICE came again and took my parents," said Jose Urias, another Dreamer. "I believe my parents should have the same relief as I do while Congress debates immigration reform."

21 Sep 2012 – " Turn Them Into Gold " (Ladylike Dragons, 2011)
21 Sep 2012 – " Turn Them Into Gold " (Ladylike Dragons, 2011) http://youtu.be/UHQLbAF_LV0 Had a couple of (mixed) late European news living up the US session, which eventually managed to eke out a small gain on the Indu, small loss on the other indices: Revised Italian outlook on growth and deficit (2012 GDP down to -2.4% from Q2 estimates of -1.2% and deficit up to -2.6% from -1.7% with 2013 deficit expectations tripled from -0.5% to -1.8% (Here goes the fiscal consolidation); continuation of the report that the ESM was to be signed by Wed with Spain then potentially able to decide (…) by Thu (seems highly doubtful…) and finally Greece, where a couple of EUR billions are still missing to make ends meet, which seems to put increasing strains on the coalition. S&P up 10 ticks from the opening lows to close less than a point below the previous sessions. Asia heading mixed, but roughly flat into the weekend; China roughly flat but down 5-6% on the week and Japan up some 1.5% after its own QE (but with JPY stubbornly strong at 78.2). Light Risk On open for a session that won't see any meaningful macro, so inclined to surf sentiment, rumours and technicals. Still mulling all that PMI data showing a generally softer H2 worldwide. Bunds morning quotes softer by 2-3 around the 1.60% pivot, UST out by 3 to 1.78%, compared to the European close. Rest of EGB equally softer by 1-2 bp. Periphery about flat to a tick tighter across the curve with Italy still past 5% and Spain a little below 5.75% (after yesterday's 5.83% high in 10s). Equities up some 0.25-0.50%, trying to match the higher US close. Credit tighter (1.5-2.5%), but still subject to index rolls out / into the new series. Commodities rebound in Oil (+1.5%) after this week's 7% plus bashing until yesterday. Copper getting some colours back. EUR trying, but failing, to tackle the 1.30 from below. Spanish July mortgage lending down over 27% YoY. House mortgages down "only" 17.5%. Dutch house prices down 8% YoY, pushing thrifty Consumer Spending down 1.5% YoY. Uneventful morning, outside a rather short-lived feedback loop between some stops on EUR past the 30-handle, masked as Risk On, pulling equities higher, pulling the EUR higher up to 1.305 – until it ran out of steam and drifted back to opening levels. Had eventually the EU SPOX spooking the rounds with statements of Spain retaining full structural programmes implementation controls and the Troika taking a one week "break" out of Greece. Closing the morning with Bunds 1,59% (+2), OBLs 0,59% (+1), BKOs 0,046% (+0,5) with UST at 1,78% (+3) Spanish 2s 3,06% (-3) & 10s at 5,73% (-1) a little better. Italian 2s 2,16% (+3) and 10s 5,07% (+4) a little softer. Curves unchanged. Equities flattish to slightly negative after the late morning spike up. EUR right on 1.30. No meaningful US data until Tuesday's Housing and Consumer Confidence. Not much to chew on. Quadruple witching on US equities at quarter end. Hearing from the IMF that Spanish banks could need less than expected. Some unclear / contradictory comments out of Spain on pension reform / freezes (a much probable condition of ESM / ECB support). Seems like markets are readying up for some kind of support negotiations, following next week's budget cum reforms approvals on Thursday. IBEX up 1.5%. Tedious Risk On with the Periphery slipping. Same EUR pattern as earlier with a squeeze from 1.297 to 1.304, ahead of Wall Street open, before slipping again. Pump dump pump slump? Wall street opening about up 0.25%. More for the iPhone-driven NASDAQ. There must be an app for that. Rumours of behind the scenes haggling to keep the non-used banking bail-out funds to cover other needs seem to be wishful thinking, that I doubt would pass the Northern Front cum ECB spirit of conditionality. Bail-out funds? Turn Them Into Gold? Unlikely. Closing comments from Schaueble that all is good in Europe, respecting everyone's efforts. Ok. And "steadfast" Spain doesn't need a programme. Hum. Closing the week in uncomfortable expectations. Bit of disconnect between more cautious bonds and more bullish equities. Bunds closed at 1,59% (+2), OBLs at 0,59% (+1) and BKOs 0,033% (-0,8) with UST at 1,77% (2) Spanish 2s at 3,07% (-2), 10s at 5,73% (-1). Spanish 2-10s 267bp (+2). Italian 2s at 2,18% (+5), 10s at 5,10% (+7). Italian 2-10s 292bp (+2). New Issues on hold after this week's EUR 26bn of supply, mostly in AAA SSA names, as well as prime name covered bonds and household corporates. Had nevertheless Portuguese toll road operator Brisa selling EUR 300m 5.5 YRS just shy off MS +600. Closing levels: 10 YRS Yields: Germany 1,59% (+2); Luxembourg 1,63% (+1); Swaps 1,82% (+3); Netherlands 1,86% (+0); Finland 1,88% (+1); EU 1,95% (+1), Austria 2,12% (-1); France 2,27% (+0); EIB 2,24% (+2); EFSF 2,40% (+3); Belgium 2,63% (-2); Italy 5,10% (+7); Spain 5,73% (-1). 10 YRS Spreads: Luxembourg 4bp (-1); Swaps 23bp (+1); Netherlands 27bp (-2); Finland 29bp (-1); EU 36bp (-1); Austria 53bp (-3); France 68bp (-2); EIB 65bp (+0); EFSF 81bp (+1); Belgium 104bp (-4); Italy 351bp (+5); Spain 414bp (-3). EUR swap curve 2-5 YRS 52bp (+2,0); 5-10 YRS 87bp (+1,0) 10-30 YRS 61bp (+2,0). 2 YRS German BKOs closed 0,033% (-0,8) and 5 YRS OBLs 0,59% (+1). Main at 124 from 125 (0,8% tighter); Financials at 197 after 202 (2,5% tighter). SovX at 171 from 171. Cross at 458 from 468. Stoxx Futures at 2565 / +0,9% (from 2541) with S&P minis at 1457 (+0,5% from 1450, at European close). VIX index at 14,0 after 14,3 yesterday same time. Oil 93,1/111,0 (WTI/Brent) from 92,3/109,0 (+0,9%/+1,8%). Gold at 1773 after 1763 (+0,6%). Copper at 380 from 378 (+0,5%). CRB at EU COB 309,0 from 308,0 (+0,3%). Totally and definitively new week, new luck, new trend! Fourth positive session, with the Baltic Dry adding yet another 2.5%, fixing at 774 from 755. Question remains: What is shipped? Ore? iPhones? Xmas toys? EUR 1,299 from 1,295 Greek bonds guesstimates: 2023s closing the week down to 20% from 20.50% from 20% and 2042s likewise tighter 25bp at 18.25%. All levels COB 17:30 CET On the week (compared to Fri 14 Sep COB): Closed last Friday with a feeling of "Why Does My Heart Feels So Bad" (Bunds 1,7% +14; Spain 5,76% +16; Stoxx 2592% +1,8%; EUR 1,315), as after the unleashing of OMT and QE, Risk had reached a levels that demanded hard positive data to push on further. A positive close, but off highs. And as it stands, Monday felt like "Every Day I Have the Blues" (Bunds 1,68% -2; Spain 5,96% +20; Stoxx 2586% -0,2%; EUR 1,313). Nothing dramatic. Mostly boring. But ending with Spanish 10s crashing to 6% and Oil just crashing, mysteriously. As nothing lasts forever (but the Blues), stocks retreated further on Tuesday, but Spain bounced off the 6%-mark on a fair bill auction, so we "Still Got The Blues" (Bunds 1,64% -4; Spain 5,86% -10; Stoxx 2561% -1,0%; EUR 1,306). And the bluesy mood prevailed on Wednesday with "The Thrill Is Gone" (Bunds 1,61% -3; Spain 5,67% -19; Stoxx 2569% +0,3%; EUR 1,307). While indicators were slightly divergent, most was done on the back of mildly positive US figures, everyone was ignoring. Spain's lone squeeze ahead of the auction didn't trigger real appetite either. So we slipped to Thursday and saw PMI data in China and France disappoint big time, small time in for the EZ and better in Germany. After initially tanking, a fairly correct Spanish auction held stress about ok. At least it didn't add any. Lacklustre US open, a session marked by "No Fun" (Bunds 1,57% -4; Spain 5,74% +7; Stoxx 2551% -0,7%; EUR 1,295). A bluesy week. So after 2 hell of positive weeks with fairy dust sprinkled by the CBU (Central Banks United), which saw EStoxx adding over 6%, Spanish 10s tightening some 125bp down to a 5.55% low before drifting back out a little to 5.76% last Friday (and 2s down to as low as 2.70% before snapping back to 3.07%), Credit tightening by over 20% and Financials by 27%, the EUR ripping 550 pips higher and the Risk decompression taking its toll on Bunds (adding 36% to close at 1.70% last week), things seem a little out of breath here. Post-Central Bank intervention depression, so to speak, as the question on everyone's mind is "What's next? Where can we move to WITHOUT support?" Add to that soured geopolitics that stirred spirits in Asia, MENA and to some extend in regional Spain. Hard Core getting some strength back with Bunds back to the 1.60% pivot, tighter by 11 on the week (+18 the week before). EGB credit torsion pivoting around a performing Austria and a heavier France, facing the reality of a growth slump, as confirmed by this week's PMI. Agencies all in line with swaps around -12, correcting pretty much the previous week widening. Periphery still an uneasy place to be and closing the week roughly unchanged (2 YRS Italy down 5, 10s wider by 3 and Spanish 2s unchanged with 10s tighter by 3). EUR swap confirming flight into the medium part of the curve, flatter in 2-5 and steeper in 5-10 and longer out. Credit giving back some of its huge post-QE/ OMT rally gains, as equities ran a little out of steam. On the commodities front, we note the slump in Oil and relative strength of Gold ($10 off the 2012 highs). We note as well the 17% rebound in the moribund Baltic Dry Index, showing some demand for bulk shipments. New Issue supply was tamer quality-wise than last week's explosive EUR 25bn, of which more than half was for Periphery issuers. Actually, size-wise, it was a bigger week, as next to EUR 26bn were issued in benchmark format, but of that amount over the half was done for AAA SSA issuers (EUR 5bn KfW, EUR 3bn CADES and EIB, the rest for German Länder), next to EUR 2bn for prime quality covered bond issuers. Next to EUR 10bn were issued for corporates, however here again, it was concentrated on strong house-hold names with EUR 2.25bn for Anheuser Busch InBev, EUR 2bn for BHP Billiton, EUR 1.5bn for OMV and EUR 1bn GE. Periphery issuers represented only EUR 1bn for three utility issuers, including a retap. So back to caution after last week's take-all approach. 10 YRS Yields: Germany 1,59% (-11); Luxembourg 1,63% (-13); Swaps 1,82% (-12); Netherlands 1,86% (-8); Finland 1,88% (-6); EU 1,95% (-11); Austria 2,12% (-3); France 2,27% (+2); EIB 2,24% (-9); EFSF 2,40% (-11); Belgium 2,63% (+2); Italy 5,10% (+3); Spain 5,73% (-3). 10 YRS Spreads: Luxembourg 4bp (-2); Swaps 23bp (-1); Netherlands 27bp (+3); Finland 29bp (+5); EU 36bp (unch); Austria 53bp (+8); France 68bp (+13); EIB 65bp (unch); EFSF 81bp (unch); Belgium 104bp (+13); Italy 351bp (+14); Spain 414bp (+8). EUR swap curve 2-5 YRS 52bp (-4,0); 5-10 YRS 87bp (+3,0) 10-30 YRS 61bp (+3,0). 2 YRS German BKOs closed 0,033% (-7) and 5 YRS OBLs 0,59% (-12), on the week. with UST at 1,77% (-10) Swiss 2-years eventually rather stable at -0.16 (up 1bp on the week and from -0.48% 3 weeks ago). Main at 124 from 118 (5,1% wider); Financials at 197 after 185 (6,5% wider). SovX at 171 from 172. Cross at 458 from 460. Stoxx Futures at 2565 / -1,0% from 2592 with S&P minis at 1457 / -0,3% from 1461, at European COB last week. VIX index at 14,0 after 14,3 last week. Oil 93,1/111,0 (WTI/Brent) from 99,5/117,1 (-6,5%/-5,2%). Gold at 1773 after 1774 (-0,1%). Copper at 380 from 384 (-1,0%) . CRB closes 309,0 from 320,0 (-3,4%). Having slipped last week from 669 to 662, this week proved a good one. Totally and definitively new week, new luck, new trend! Five positive session, with the Baltic Dry adding 17%, fixing at 774.
