Abstract:	Recent work of Ando, Blumberg, Gepner, Hopkins and Rezk characterize Einfinity orientations of K-Theory. Their description involves producing measures on the p-adic units with certain moments. In his thesis, Ando produced a criterion for an orientation to be Hinfinity. His theorem is a condition on the induced formal group law. We connect these two classifications by producing measures of the type above whenever Ando's criterion is satisfied.
