KrbGuess is a small and simple tool which can be used during security testing to guess valid usernames against a Kerberos environment. It allows you to do this by studying the response from a TGT request to the KDC server. The tool works against both Microsoft Active Directory, MIT and Heimdal Kerberos implementations. In addition it will detect if an account lacks pre-authentication.
The tool is supplied with a file containing a list of usernames and requests a TGT for each user and then waits for the response. If the KDC responds with a valid TGT or with an error message stating that pre-authentication is required, a valid username has been discovered. Several guesses can be run in parallel (currently only against a single KDC) in order to improve performance.
Be careful not to run with to many threads and low timeouts as it will bring the KDC to its knees during the time of the test. The default values have been tuned against my, not that over performing virtual machines, and currently eat somewhere around 80% CPU which gives me roughly 700 guesses per second. In most cases the network throughput won't be the performance bottleneck. So far I'm seeing that 2-3MBit of queries is generating a sustained 100% CPU load against both Heimdal on Ubuntu and Windows 2003.
The tool is written in Java and does not rely on any Kerberos libraries to perform the guessing. In order to successfully run the tool against a system it needs at least the realm, dictionary and a server parameters to be set. eg.
java -jar krbguess.jar -s 192.168.56.11 -r HEMMA
-o report.txt -d ./dictionaries/common.txt

Employees have always been able to take all or part of their 401(k) retirement account balances and buy a commercial annuity to guarantee lifetime payments. But there's renewed interest in a lesser-known, potentially cheaper option to guarantee lifetime payments—the DC to DB rollover.
To make this move, you have to work for a company that offers both a 401(k) defined contribution plan and a traditional defined benefit pension plan, and offers the option to roll assets from the former (the DC plan) to the latter (the DB pension). When you leave the company or retire, you transfer 401(k) assets to the pension plan, and the pension plan converts the rollover amount to an annuity that is actuarially equal to the amount you transferred, guaranteeing you additional lifetime payments in excess of your basic pension checks.
Here's the rub. Very few employers offer the DC to DB rollover—only 6%, according to an
DC to DB rollovers got jumpstarted earlier this year when the Treasury Department and the IRS published a revenue ruling (Rev. Ruling 2012-4) clarifying how this annuity conversion works. Before, it wasn't clear how you would calculate the additional payments. "They took away the fear," says Nancy Gerrie, an employee benefits lawyer with McDermott Will & Emery in Chicago. "The government is trying hard to find ways to provide annuity options for employer retirement plans because they've seen employees get burned in the stock market," she says.
More employers (11%) already offer annuity or insurance products within their 401(k) plans such as variable annuity features or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits, and of those employers not offering these features, 3% are very likely and 13% are somewhat likely to add them this year, according to the Aon Hewitt report.
DC to DB rollovers make sense for employees who want longevity protection at below market costs. Gerrie says a perfect candidate would be a single woman with no kids who is healthy who doesn't want to worry about the risk of fluctuations in her retirement benefits. She would be bypassing the costs of buying a commercial annuity. For a couple, it's typically best if the spouse doing the rollover can choose a 100% joint survivor annuity option—meaning the surviving spouse still gets lifetime payments at the first spouse's death.
Gerrie added the DC to DB rollover option into an employer plan at the request of several members of a professional services firm of about 400 employees. "These participants were all very savvy about their money," she said. They had a lot of assets outside of retirement accounts to draw on as needed and eventually pass on to their children and grandchildren, while they used the DB annuity payments as a guaranteed income stream.
Why aren't more employers likely to take up the DC to DB rollover? Historically, employees haven't demanded annuity options, and employers regard annuity features as complex to evaluate and administer, says Thomas McCord, an employee benefits lawyer with Nixon Peabody in Boston. "When an employee leaves the company, the employer is interested in not having that much to do with that employee," he says. Further, the trend among employers that still have open defined benefit plans is "derisking"—transferring risk from the plan by offering participants lump sum payments to get them out of the plan.
One reason employers may want to add the DC to DB rollover is for talent management—a way to set their plan apart, and a way to hold on to employees by offering the option only to employees who retire at a certain age or after a certain number of years worked, says Stewart Lawrence, a senior vice president and national retirement practice leader at Sibson Consulting. Also, to the extent an employer's plan is less than 100% funded, rollovers will increase its funded status because the additional liabilities attributable to the rollover are essentially 100% funded at the time of the rollover.
Employers aren't jumping in, but they aren't rejecting the idea either, instead taking the wait and see approach. "If they're suddenly seeing all their competitors are doing this, and their 401(k) plan looks deficient, that alone may force their hand," Lawrence says.

Shopping at a garage sale gave JoAnn House the surprise of her life.
Shopping at a garage sale gave JoAnn House the surprise of her life.
The week before the city-wide sale, House, her sisters, niece and mother decided to check out the pre-sales around town. As they pulled up to the sale, she scanned the tables for bargains.
"I saw this pair of white tennis shoes and I thought, 'I'm gonna try those on,'" House said. "I put one on and it fit good and I tried the other one and it was small and I thought, 'Well, this shoe is a size smaller or something.' So I measured it heel to toe and it was fine, and I stuck my hand in there, and out I pulled this envelope full of money."
The envelope was thick and well-worn. When she opened it and saw the bands around the money, she knew she was holding a lot of cash.
"It was very exciting, my heart raced and I was shaking all over. I thought 'Oh, my gosh,' " House said.
She turned the envelope over to the homeowner and went on shopping. People working the sale smiled at her, and soon she found out why.
"Pretty soon she came over and she said, 'Do you know how much money was in there?' And I said, 'No.' I didn't have any idea," House said.
The envelope contained $11,000. The homeowner had been recently widowed, but her late husband had Alzheimer's and stashed money everywhere.
"She said she didn't check in the shoes and there it was," House said. "She said anything you want in this sale you just take."
House got two pairs of shoes as her reward, including the pair that had the money in it. She gave them to her grandsons. A punch bowl also caught her eye, but she insisted on paying for it.
Now House has a story to tell her grandkids. She doesn't think a situation like this would happen to her twice, but if it did she'd do it all over again. Returning the money was an instinctive reaction.
"I didn't give it a second thought," she said. "My heart just pounded and I was shaking because I knew it was a lot of money, and that's what I'd want done for me — that's for sure. She really did appreciate it, she was very excited."

My 20th anniversary is coming up in early May, and I'm hoping to scan & scrap my original wedding photos (my book fell apart). The theme of my wedding revolved around lilacs......not only were they in bloom at the time of my wedding, but the bridesmaid dresses I chose were covered in various colored lilacs... I used the various lilac colors to decorate with along with white, platinum/silver & green (emerald being the gemstone for May & because I'm part Irish). Our wedding bands are platinum infinity bands (in a braided celtic knot design similar to this: http://www.celticmerchant.com/Rope-Braid-Celtic-Ring.html)
Does anyone know of any kits like this? Or is there a designer in here willing to take a stab at this?

Modified Mustangs & FordsHow To Engine
Clevor Engine: Mating 351 Cleveland Heads To 289/302/352W Blocks
Bush Performance Engines Brings Back The Street Boss And Track Boss Intakes For Mating Cleveland Heads To Windsor Blocks
The most popular, low-buck heads for making power from a small-block Ford are the 351W versions with a nice port job, which makes for a snappy 289/302 without selling the farm. But Bush Performance Engines in Fort Smith, Arkansas, has taken the concept a step further by bringing back the Clevor engine, a package that mates the large intake ports of the 351 Cleveland heads to the 289/302/351W blocks for affordable small-block performance. This is the next step up when 351W heads just don't get it done.
Performing the swap requires some minor machining and a special intake manifold to mate the Cleveland-style heads to the Windsor block. Back in the '80s, B&A Performance offered these manifolds in both Street Boss (dual-plane) and Track Boss (configuration), with versions for the wider 351 Windsor blocks as well, but manifold production was discontinued several years ago. Bush Performance Engines has picked up the rights to produce the manifolds so they are once again available, except for the 351 Street Boss, for building street or track versions of the Clevor small-block.
To understand what it takes to build a 351C-headed small-block Ford, you need to know the differences between the Windsor-style and Cleveland-style engines. Because the 351C employs vastly different cylinder heads, with canted valves, than the 289/302/351W, the pistons are designed for a different combustion chamber. The 351C was available two basic ways: with four-barrel heads with large ports and closed wedge chambers, or with two-barrel heads with smaller ports and open chambers. The 4V heads perform best at high revs, making the most of those huge intake ports and high-compression wedge chambers. It does not make a good street head because torque is available only at high rpm. The 2V heads sport smaller, more street-friendly intake ports and open chambers for lower compression, facts that make the 2V head more useful on the street where good low-end torque is needed. The 2V head was also used on the later 351M and 400M engines.
Heads Of The Pack
When building a Clevor Ford small-block, the 351C-4V head is the best choice only if you're reaching for high revs. This head has huge ports and closed, high-compression wedge chambers. The larger ports work best at high rpm because that's where we have air velocity, which makes torque. Closed chambers yield higher compression ratios, which means power. The 351C-2V head is designed for low-rpm street use. It's perfect for a street driver because the smaller ports provide air velocity at lower engine speeds. Again, air velocity makes torque. The larger, open chambers yield a lower compression ratio for use with today's pump gas. With the right piston, you can achieve 10.0:1 compression with this head.
The Australian Cleveland head offers the best of both worlds--smaller ports (like the 351C-2V head) for low-end torque and closed wedge chambers (like the 351C-4V head) for power increases. Aussie heads are also available from Bush Performance.
Bush Performance modifies 351C heads for installation on the 289/302/351W block, eliminating one water passage while creating another. Bush closes off the 351C water passage between the head and the block. Then a passage is bored in the forward-most part of the head at the intake manifold, which allows coolant to flow to the 289/302/351W manifold and thermostat.
The two 351C head types call for two types of pistons--one for a closed-wedge chamber and another for an open-chamber design. The 351C-4V piston is the same basic slug used in the '69-'70 Boss 302 engine because the Boss head is virtually the same as the 351C-4V head except for water-passage differences. (The '69 Boss 302 was actually the first application, from the factory, of the 351C-4V heads on a Windsor block).
The common denominator for 289/302/351W power is the Cleveland head. Your mission determines head selection. For the street, choose the 351C-2V heads with the Street Boss intake. For track use, step up to the 351C-4V heads with the Track Boss single-plane intake.

Copper Mountain Resort hosts third annual WinterBike festival Saturday, Jan. 19
Mountain biking season returns to Summit County this weekend as winter fat-tire biking invades Copper Mountain Resort for the third annual WinterBike night race Saturday. The event is part of two days of free fat-bike demos and is the first race in the Leadville Winter Bike series benefiting the Cloud City Wheelers — the Leadville chapter of the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) — and Lake County trail building projects.
"It's a really cool scene," said Copper Mountain communications manager Austyn Williams, who described winter fat-tire biking as a growing trend. "It's exciting this year that we're offering free demos and rentals during the day."
Organizers expect around 150 riders of all ages and abilities.
"The race is catered towards anyone who enjoys riding a bike," Sterling Mudge, chair of the Cloud City Wheelers, said.
The competition kicks off at 6 p.m. on a 2½-lap, 10-mile course through Copper's three villages and onto the resort's Nordic ski trail system. Riders will need headlamps to compete, as the course heads away from the villages and all the way to the base of Resolution Chair.
"Bright lights definitely help," Mudge said.
Guests can take the bikes for a free test ride on the course during the day but will need to pay a rental fee to rent during competition. The $20 race registration fee goes to the Cloud City Wheelers biking association. Registration is available only on the day of the event and will be at the West Lake Overlook in Center Village — near the ice rink and zip line — from 4-5:45 p.m.
There will also be a shorter kids' race through the Center village starting at 5 p.m. for kids 11 and younger. Guests and participants are encouraged to stick around for post-race fireworks and an after-party at the Incline restaurant and bar.
'another way to play'
Fat-tire biking continues to be a growing winter sport in Summit County. A number of area rental shops — including Wilderness Sports and Rebel Sports in Frisco — have added them to their rental lineup this season. The bikes feature 4-inch wide balloon tires — roughly twice the size of standard mountain bike tires — made to push through snowy or muddy conditions.
"I believe it's definitely an up-and-coming sport," Kevin Kahle of Rebel Sports said. "It's opened the doors for another way to play in the snow. Everyone's been digging it. They've gone out just about every day when the sun's out."
Those interested can demo fat bikes, provided by Borealis, Boo Bikes, Reeb, Wilderness Sports and Rebel Sports, available all day Saturday and Sunday.
Also this weekend
January is National Ski Areas Association National Safety Awareness Month. To celebrate, Copper Mountain's Safety Fest will take place in the Burning Stones Plaza in Center Village though Martin Luther King Day, Jan. 20. National Ski Patrol, the U.S. Forest Service, Summit County Rescue Group, Woodward at Copper and other groups will be on hand to provide information on backcountry awareness, national forest access and Copper Mountain's safety initiatives.
Safety Fest will feature daily avalanche dog demonstrations in Burning Stones Plaza at 11 a.m. and in Copper's West Village at 12:30 p.m. A Flight for Life helicopter will land at Patrol Headquarters, located above Excelerator Lift, on Saturday, Jan. 18, at 10 a.m. Patrol Headquarters and Timberline Patrol Hut will host an open house with free hot cocoa throughout the weekend and the remainder of the month of January. Visitors are also invited to sign up and shadow Copper's Ski Patrol in daily sweeps to close the mountain at 4 p.m.

LONDON, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Pakistan has become the firstcountry in South Asia to introduce a vaccine against the deadlypneumococcal disease in children, with GlaxoSmithKline'sSynflorix selected for the programme.
Worldwide more than 1.3 million children under the age offive are killed each year by pneumonia and in Pakistan itaccounts for almost 20 percent of child deaths, according to theGlobal Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI).
The move comes at a time when healthcare experts are stillstruggling to get polio vaccination accepted in parts ofPakistan, one of the few countries where it is still endemic.
The introduction of Synflorix in Pakistan, which began onTuesday, is possible thanks to GAVI's advanced market commitmentscheme, which provides incentives for drug companies to producelarge quantities of vaccines for poor countries at low cost.
"In Pakistan, with a successful roll-out we can save tens ofthousands of lives," GAVI's chief executive Seth Berkley toldreporters at a briefing at its Geneva headquarters. "It willmake a dramatic difference in life expectancy in the country."
GSK, Britain's largest drugmaker, said it would provide aminimum of 480 million doses of Synflorix to GAVI for programmesagainst pneumococcal disease in 73 developing countries by 2023.
GAVI also has a similar global deal with Pfizer forits rival pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar. The agency choosesbetween the competing vaccines in each country.
GAVI is a public-private partnership backed by the Bill &Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Health Organisation, theWorld Bank, UNICEF, international donor governments and others.It funds bulk-buy immunisation campaigns for poorer nations thatcan't afford vaccines at rich-world prices.
Berkley noted problems with Pakistan's polio eradicationeffort, which has been hampered by mistrust and rejection amonglocal people, but said he expected the introduction of thepneumococcal vaccine to be smoother, and potentially helpful tothe polio campaign in the longer run.
"The government of Pakistan assures us they will doeverything they can to roll out this product," he said. "This isa vaccine that families understand, (along with) the importanceof this disease and children dying, so it actually may help theeffort."
Latest United Nations estimates show that pneumonia accountsfor 18 percent of child deaths globally. In Pakistan more than352,000 children die before they reach their fifth birthday andalmost one in five of those deaths are due to pneumonia.
GAVI said that while pneumococcal vaccines cannot preventevery case of pneumonia they can prevent a significantproportion and have the potential to protect tens of thousandsof children from preventable sickness and death.

Blind Item #5
This former A list reality star who is still an A list celebrity with A+list name recognition despite not doing much of anything except hitting red carpets since her last show was canceled passed out in the gift shop of a hotel during an event this weekend after asking the gift shop if they sold cigarettes. Because the gift shop is so small people had to step over her to exit so hotel personnel could help her. She was able to get up on her own. Apparently she had not eaten in a few days to make sure she could fit into her dress.

When Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced two weeks ago that the Fed expected to maintain its near-zero interest rate policy at least as long as the end of 2014, it was the latest salvo in our loose monetary regime's increasing repression of savers.
Like the Syrian army unleashing heavily armored vehicles and massacring civilians, American savers are feeling the financial equivalent of fighting a desperate and so far losing battle against the might of the U.S. central bank. Indeed, until two weeks ago, U.S. savers were being massacred by a zero-rate policy intended to last until the middle of 2013, so the most recent Fed announcement must have seemed like a body blow to this beleaguered group.
As in all other cases of repression, the violence is aimed at protecting the interests of some favored group–the Assad regime and its ethnic Alawite supporters in Syria or in the case of the U.S., the borrowing class.
Why should the U.S. favor borrowers? Economists and bankers offer all sorts of reasons, and usually focus on the need to revive the battered financial and housing sectors, which triggered our economic crisis. With zero rate returns, the thinking goes, those with capital will be forced to enter risk markets, thereby spurring investment and creating a wealth effect while consumers will flock to homeownership since the cost of financing a purchase is so low.
Cynics will argue that the real reason for low rates is that the government itself has assumed the interests of borrowers because, like Assad's Alawites, they come from the same group. The U.S. after all is the world's biggest borrower and is running trillion-dollar annual deficits. U.S. debt-service costs would balloon if interest rates were at normal levels. According to this thinking, the Fed is playing for time with the hope that the economy will be growing again and debt trending downward when it once again imposes costs on credit.
In what must seem to some savers as a coordinated attack, the Securities and Exchange Commission this week revealed proposed regulatory changes on money market funds that would have the effect of lowering rates. For those not hip to money funds these days, the current average seven-day yield on a taxable money market fund is 0.02%, which may not sound like much, but is double the 0.01% rate on a comparable tax-free fund.
If the SEC's proposals were all adopted, it is highly likely that savers would have to pay fund companies to hold their money. And if that sounds far-fetched, the Bank of New York Mellon Corp. made headlines last summer when it announced it would be charging institutional clients 0.13% on deposits of more than $50 million.
The SEC has legitimate concerns about the need to prevent a bank-run style run on funds–as occurred in the wake of the Lehman crisis leading to the Reserve Fund's breaking the buck. Reasonable people can differ on the propriety of such changes, but the fact remains that savers remain a repressed political class today with few options.
Headline inflation is 3% today, so arguably the U.S. government is offering investors in its bonds the same kind of deal BNY Mellon is offering its customers. For the cost of a 10-year bond, which currently yields 1.97%, U.S. investors get to pay Uncle Sam over 1% a year to hold their money.
Across the board, savings rates are low and declining. The current savings rate average is 0.266% nationally and five-year bank CDs are paying 1.687%, according to depositaccounts.com, which expects rates to continue to fall in the wake of the Fed's extended zero-rate plans. Savers can of course protect themselves from inflation by purchasing Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. But TIPS are currently paying a negative interest rate of -1.15%. Inflation-protected savings bonds (I Bonds) may be the only bargain around. They pay a flat zero percent!
Savers have been struggling to find ways to preserve their income in the past several years' low environment. A recent analysis by the free-market-oriented Cato Institute has quantified this problem, revealing that "since 2008, household interest income has fallen by about $400 billion annually. That's $400 billion each year that families have not had to spend." (Of course, these same numbers also quantifty the huge gains eligible borrowers have reaped in cheap financing of homes, for instance – another win for the ruling borrower class.)
There is a paucity of alternatives for outgunned savers in the current financial repression. But for beleaguered savers with their fistful of dollars clamoring for the scintillating zero-percent rate on I Bonds, a warning: the government allows a maximum purchase of just $10,000 a year, down from $30,000 annual limit available back in the good old days of 2007.

Inouye's footprint
It's hard to overstate the enormous role the late Sen. Daniel Inouye played in Hawaii's public and economic life.
His political stature was comparable to Robert Byrd in West Virginia or Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts, and as an appropriator and state founding father his footprint was as large as Ted Stevens's in Alaska.
The front page of Hawaii's Star Advertiser newspaper offers an idea of the Democrat's far-reaching impact on the state landscape.

NCAA suggests contact limits for football practice
Source YAHOO News
The NCAA is suggesting that football teams hold no more than two contact practices per week during the season in guidelines that grew out of a safety and concussion summit early this year.
Practice limits were among several recommendations released Monday by the NCAA, which called them guidelines that could change "in real time" rather than rules passed through legislation.
The practice guidelines also recommend four contact practices per week during the preseason and no more than eight of the 15 sessions during spring football.
The NCAA is also suggesting that schools have independent doctors to evaluate injuries and a "return to learn" process for integrating athletes back into their academic work after they have been diagnosed with a concussion.
The Safety in College Football Summit was in Atlanta in January.

Wonder Bread bag shoes and singing "Helter Skelter"
He asks for a dollar, you know what it's for
Man, bottle after bottle, he always needs more
He's no less important than you working class stiffs
He drinks a lot of liquor, but he don't drink piss
He paid his dues playing the blues
He claims that he wrote the "Blue Suede Shoes"
Elvis shaved his head when he went into the army
That's right, y'all, his name is Johnny, kick it

As a dentist, Johnny Kwanhoom Kim works in an extraordinarily confined space: people's mouths. But as an entrepreneur, his business stretches far and wide across the sweep of sprawling Greater Los Angeles.
The affable D.D.S. owns seven L.A.-area commercial properties in which a host of other dentists—for whom he has given either partnerships or employment—practice under his California Dental Group. This profitable dental office-cum-real estate approach makes Kim his buildings' tenant as well as the landlord.
"It's the best way to have a retirement plan," says the ambitious Korean-born dentist, 54.
Now he aspires to further fatten his real estate portfolio by buying up more properties and launching more offices. Problem: His background is in biology and chemistry, not business and balance sheets. He needs financial savvy to take him where he wants to go.
Solution: Kim is participating in an innovative pro bono mentoring program from UBS Wealth Management Americas that teams high-growth small business owners with select financial advisors and certain of their clients. A six-month New York pilot with 10 entrepreneurs completed last February. This past May two more projects got under way, this time in Los Angeles and Chicago.
"Elevating Entrepreneurs: Small Business Advisory Program" gives company owners one-on-one strategic financial and business advice and access to UBS senior executives, plus a smorgasbord of other UBS resources. Objective: new job creation.
The wirehouse first chooses the entrepreneurs and matches each one with an advisor. Then, from the advisor's book, it picks a client with expertise in an area that would help the business owner most. Goal: to take the local company to the next level and in so doing, generate jobs. The program is an extension of UBS's "Revitalizing America" initiative launched in fall 2010.
"Our financial advisors have tremendous business background and understanding of finance. The majority of UBS clients are first-generation wealth who have built their businesses from the ground up and were in the same position as many of the small business owners in our program. That combination makes a well-rounded [mentorship]," says Lori Feinsilver, who heads the program from New York City.
The advisor matched with dentist Kim is Michael J. Hatch, 34, a vice president of investments with the Feuer/Hatch/Doshi group based on tony Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. The team manages half-a-billion dollars in assets of primarily high-net-worth and ultrahigh-net-worth individuals.
Hatch, who joined the firm in 2003, is a certified financial planner and has the CIMA (Certified Investment Management Analyst) designation as well. Among his specialties are portfolio manager research and selection, portfolio construction and estate planning. He has a B.S. in economics and organizational communications from the University of Utah.
"It's a neat idea and exciting to be a part of something that UBS is doing to give back," says the eager FA. "We really need to create new jobs in this country. If there's anything I can do, I'm more than happy to help."
Partnering with mentor Hatch is his client, Mark Gabay, 55, owner of Charles Company, a flourishing real estate developer and investment partnership firm in West Hollywood. He has decades of experience and expertise in turning raw land and rundown properties into income-producing assets.
"Mark is very knowledgeable on the financing side, as good as any banker," Hatch says.
At the time of this writing, the two had just begun working with Kim. Already notched was a two-hour meeting that served to draw up a fundamental game plan to boost the dentist's presence in L.A.
"I originally wanted to grow to 10 locations. But now, after meeting with Mike and Mark, I think I can go to 20, 50, even 100! Those guys are great!" says Kim, energetic and enterprising. He came from Korea to L.A. as a child and grew up in modest means. Working his way through college, he was a gas station attendant and janitor.
"Dr. Kim is self-made. He established the dental practice and built it up to create a secure income stream. His intent is to utilize his business to create a larger real estate portfolio that he controls, which would create annuities for him," explains Gabay, who immigrated to L.A. with his family from Iran at age 14. He too worked a series of jobs while attending school; at 25, he made his start in real estate.
Regular Contact
The six-month UBS program, which includes training for the advisor-mentors, requires once-a-month meetings with the business owners. In New York, the FAs spent about eight to 10 hours with them monthly over the six-month period.
The pilot—with businesses located in Manhattan's Harlem neighborhood, Brooklyn and Newark, N.J., among other areas—focused exclusively on minority-owned companies. But now, any qualifying small business owner is eligible.
Benefiting from customized one-on-one advice are nine L.A. companies in urban or middle class suburban communities, such as Compton, Corona and Woodland Hills. Average 2011 revenue for the businesses was $8.75 million. The financial advisors are based in six branches spread throughout Los Angeles.
Industrious Kim has no trouble finding dentists to join his ever-expanding group since new dental school grads face a tough L.A. job market and are heavily burdened with student loans. So low overhead and participation in group buying, marketing and advertising have obvious appeal.
Kim provides the initial capital and operates the practices under his DBA. At one point, he had 11 locations; but even after selling the practices, he still maintains ownership of the real estate.
According to Gabay, the struggling economy is an "ideal" environment for Kim to branch out. "There's a lot of well-located real estate that's suffering from lack of tenancy—and with his dental practice, Dr. Kim has a built-in tenancy. His intention is to purchase, say, a Blockbuster store that has gone out [of business] and start a dental practice there immediately. So right away he becomes the tenant too."
After their initial meeting, Hatch set up an appointment for the three with non-profit agency Valley Economic Development Center (VEDC) to discuss financing.
"Things are certainly moving forward," says the FA.
Political Backing
For the Los Angeles effort, UBS is partnering with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's Office of Economic and Business Policy. In New York, it teamed with the William J. Clinton Foundation. Planning to hit all major markets, the firm expects to launch in Boston next year. And for smaller cities and towns nationwide, UBS hopes to introduce an online version of its business-to-business mentoring.
Advisor qualifications include an average 10 years' financial services experience and advanced certifications. "These are successful advisors who have built their practices themselves and are performing at a level where they have time to devote to this philanthropic project," Feinsilver says.
After the business owner and FA are selected, UBS then asks the advisor to submit the names of three clients with backgrounds similar to the entrepreneur's and who have achieved success in the same field in which the owner needs help.
UBS provides the team with one-on-one access to its senior executives in, for example, marketing, operations and investment banking. There are workshops as well. One in New York concentrated on capital management. "Someone from UBS talked about balance sheets and the key numbers that banks look at when you go for a loan," Feinsilver notes.
The wirehouse declined to disclose the cost of running the program but reports that this year it has added a new element: availability of $15 million in small business loans—$10 million for L.A. and $5 million for Chicago—by partnering with local not-for-profits. In L.A., that organization is VEDC, which also provides financial education. In Chicago—where UBS's key partner is the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce—its financing co-partner is the Chicagoland Business Opportunity Fund, now forming.
"There are very few lenders willing to make loans because small businesses are considered high risk," Feinsilver says. "But we saw from the New York pilot that access to capital is a big component to growth. We don't have a small business lending program at UBS. So we said, 'What else can we do?'"
The loans are available to any qualifying small business in L.A. and Chicago, not only to program participants.
Kim has already made an application. "It would definitely help my expansion," he says. He was accepted into "Elevating Entrepreneurs" after receiving a flier and applying.
With dentist partners in four offices and dentist employees at the three others, Kim himself works seven days a week, dividing his time among a trio of locations: four days at his own practice in L.A.'s Koreatown, four miles southeast of Hollywood; two days at his downtown L.A. office in the fancy Millennium Biltmore Hotel (where he rents space); and one day in Long Beach, about 17 miles from Koreatown.
For his real estate buys, he chiefly targets areas with sizeable Hispanic populations because they are in great need of quality dental care and are extremely loyal patients, he says.
In their first meeting, Hatch, Gabay and Kim discussed how the dentist can "capitalize within his existing operation: where his existing assets are underutilized and how he can improve them," Gabay says.
Then Hatch emailed Kim asking him to assemble financial statements and the like so he could analyze them. Both the FA and Gabay are certain they'll be meeting face to face with the entrepreneur more than the required once a month. And they will of course liaise often by phone and email.
"Over the next year or so, I see Dr. Kim growing quickly," Hatch says.
The D.D.S. plans to eventually consider franchising. "That," he says, "is where Mike comes in."
Though the New York pilot has thus far produced only a few new jobs, the mentorships there "empowered the entrepreneurs with confidence to go out and negotiate a little more strongly, make smarter business decisions and focus more on relationships with banks," Feinsilver says.
New Yorker Julie Azuma, founder-president of Different Roads to Learning, a retailer of educational products for children with autism, says the mentoring gave her "courage to stand up for [herself] and learn how to look at expected revenue in different ways. If I didn't have that support [from FA Sharon Sager, along with client Amy Butte of TILE Financial], I'd probably be running around like Chicken Little!"
For Dr. Johnny Kim's part, he says: "The greatest thing I'll gain from this whole project is that I'm going to do the same thing [as the mentors]: Give back to the community."

MONTREAL – Martin Kampmann's earned a reputation as a fighter who's willing to eat a punch to dish one out.
Check out any of his post-fight photos, and you'll see a bruised and bloodied fighter who wins more often than not.
So, as he puts together his final preparations for Saturday's potential title-eliminator with fellow contender Johny Hendricks, he fully expects to eat a few more heavy shots. And he once again expects to be victorious.
"I can eat a good shot, and I've proven that a lot in my fights," Kampmann said today. "Of course, I'm not planning to get hit, but it's a fight, and I'm sure I'll get hit eventually. I'm not worried about it. I'll dish it right back."
Kampmann (20-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC) and Hendricks (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) meet in the pay-per-view co-headliner of Saturday's UFC 154 event at Montreal's Bell Centre. The bout, which follows FX and Facebook prelims, precedes the night's PPV headliner between welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and interim titleholder Carlos Condit.
Kampmann and Hendricks initially were told the winner would get a title shot. But if he gets by Condit on Saturday, St-Pierre likely will fight middleweight champion Anderson Silva in a blockbuster May stadium show, which would put the welterweight division on hold.
While a Condit victory could spoil the superfight and actually lead the Kampmann-Hendricks winner to an immediate title shot, Kampmann would rather see the champion win.
"I already have a win over Condit, and GSP is considered the all-time best welterweight, so that's who I want to beat," he said. "I want to beat the best."
But up first is former training partner Hendricks, who previously trained with Kampmann in Las Vegas before he relocated to Texas. When they trained together, Hendricks was still a largely unknown WEC fighter, but he helped Kampmann supplement his kickboxing game with a solid wrestling base.
However, he doesn't agree that Hendricks "taught me how to wrestle," as he's alleged.
"I think it's a pretty big overstatement," Kampmann said. "I could wrestle before, but he definitely showed me some good moves. He's a good wrestler and two-time (NCAA Division I) American champion. Of course I learned some good things from him, but I could wrestle before that."
Kampmann, of course, knows Hendricks' best avenue to victory is probably with those wrestling skills. But Kampmann is no longer the striking neophyte he was once was, so he knows he must be ready to have his chin tested.
"I think he's still raw, but he's gotten a lot quicker and a lot better," Kampmann said of Hendricks. "But most of all he's just a heavy-handed hitter. But of course he's improved everywhere. His wrestling was his biggest strength, and it still is, but he's got heavy hands to back it up, and he's got a pretty solid jiu-jitsu game too."
While most fans and media members have dubbed their fight a tossup, the oddsmakers give a slight edge to Hendricks. Of course, that's nothing new for Kampmann, who's been tapped the underdog in six of his past seven fights.
"I don't worry too much about the odds," he said. "In my mind, I'm always the favorite. But it's good to know people are making money off me."
